CAMP CUISINE on a Grayson scale courtesy of titular Australian twosome riding the back (steady now) of late-80s NEIGHBOURS UK popularity. Mock bickering and barneying afforded unlikely sixth-form skive entertainment, while the “housebound” looked in for tips on how to cook like Helen Daniels. All ended in tragedy, and that’s not just the apple turnover. Hudson died first, but Halls requested repeats continue as a tribute, then changed his name to David Hudson-Halls, appeared on Children In Need, and committed suicide (events not linked).

Wednesday, 22.00, BBC Radio 2I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor tonight, which allows us to mention that when it got to number one, Calendar showed a clip from its Whistle Test-inspired video and captioned it “amateur video”. In fact that video was the first we’d heard of them or it, when it was shown on Popworld in fact, and we never thought the record version was quite as good because it was a bit overproduced. Anyway, it’s included here because it started bands being broken via the internet and that rather than the major labels and Top of the Pops.
Hudson and Halls… Bringing Carry On style innuendos to a daytime audience!
Not galloping gormets, but damn good fun when off school!
Peter Hudson was English, David Halls was Australian.
I remember the trailer for their show when they announced they were bringing their show to the BBC while clinking champagne glasses. So gloriously decadent.
dom’s wrong, they were both from New Zealand, and it was originally a TVNZ show
They used to have guest stars from Sons & Daughters. And yes, they were both from New Zealand.
I loved their show,in 1980 had the privilege of celebrating my 1/4 century birthday at their restaurant,what a day,I can remember every mouth full of food & every moment with them, they were only suppose to be open for lunch only..we were still with them 9o’clock that night…the dessert that day is something I still dream about..I have the menu signed by both with personal message..RIP guys theres a lot of us that miss you
Actually Darlings…Pete was an Australian and David was English.
