        It says on Wiki that Norman Pace is doing a lot of theatre work, so he's still around.

          I loved their No.1 hit "The Stonk". Great track with some top musos on it like Tommy Iommi, Brian May, Roger Taylor and Cozy Powell.

          Sorry for the dreadful quality of the video, but it's still fun to watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVIoCahD7yw

            I just checked and it ran from 1988 to 1998.

            Iot was a wonderfully funny show.

              I read that review. He also mentioned that they were both in teacher training before the got into comedy. I hope their maths was better than their sense of humour (or lack there of).

              Hale and Pace are the kind of comedians that you think are hilarious when you're in single digits but watching them on repeats on UK Gold you soon realise they were pretty terrible. Playground humour that always seemed to get a post-watershed airing.

                Sunday nights were brilliant when Hale and Pace were on - it made you almost forget about school the following morning.

                My favourite characters were Billy and Johnny, especially the hospital sketch from series 2, "one skin, two skin, etc"

                  Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

                        I think Hale and Pace's show occupied the Sunday night Spitting Image slot if memory serves. I can't say I was a big fan. If they were on I would watch them but wouldn't go out of my way to do so. I put them a fair bit higher than Cannon and Ball.

                          They occupied that 10.00 pm slot on Sundays that was known for Spitting Image; Clive James/Keith Floyd/Tarrant on TV; The New Statesman; Watching; and TV Squash (satirical series from 1992). Hale and Pace was always on before The South Bank Show and on Central at least, Prisoner: Cell Block H.

                          No wonder I was tired and kept yawning on Monday mornings at school.

                            Hale and Pace eqauled such an amazing crazy funny double act I thought

                            Easily they are one of the 1990s stand-out double acts, with no doubt I think - making them pure TV Gold

                              I recommend series 2 episode 3 of Hale and Pace (TX: Sunday 15th October 1989) - it is the funniest one of the lot.

                              It contains the Coca-Cola advert parody; the Guide Cat one; the "Little Joshie did a pee-pee" one; and of course, the Billy and Johnny hospital sketch. Excellent.
