CAMP CUISINE on a Grayson scale courtesy of titular Australian twosome riding the back (steady now) of late-80s [cref 1490 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).

Hudson and Halls… Bringing Carry On style innuendos to a daytime audience!
Not galloping gormets, but damn good fun when off school!

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.

They used to have guest stars from Sons & Daughters. And yes, they were both from New Zealand.
