Actually it’s about Yorkshire airlines I always loved Pace&Hale show!

Gareth Hale and Norman Pace
Hale & Pace are an English Comedy duo who have starred in several TV sketch series. Gareth Hale and Norman Pace met at a teacher-training college in Eltham, south-east London, and roomed together. They discovered much in common, particularly humour, and began playing clubs in a comedy band. This developed into sketch writing, with the duo appearing in the BBC Radio sketch show Don’t Stop Now, It’s Fundation. Their early TV break came on The Entertainers (1984), Pushing Up Daisies (1984) and the Saturday Gang (1986).

After a single one-off special for London Weekend Television in Christmas 1986, they were given a full series in 1988. Their relationship with ITV lasted a decade, with most of their programmes going out around 10pm on a Sunday. Their most famous comic creations are the bouncers The Two Rons - also known as The Management; and children’s TV presenters Billy (Hale) and Johnny (Pace). A number of their TV sketches caused controversy, especially a scene performed when they pretended to have microwaved a cat. This clip got them onto the top 50 on “50 most shocking comedy moments” and they believe that the sketch gave them the notoriety that have kept them in work for all successive series.

Hale & Pace’s characters “The Two Ronnies” also had a spin-off series of their own called “The Management” which included a number of their regular cast in permanent positions and ran for a total of 6 episodes. This series was released on video, and is usually easily available through specialist second-hand video shops. Although funny, The Management wasn’t the same format as H&P’s normal sketch style so didn’t feel the same.

Hale & Pace also have appeared on The Young Ones three times, in the episodes Flood, Nasty and Time

Hale & Pace moved across to the BBC in 1997 and starred in the three-part series, Jobs for the Boys (BBC), a non-comedic show in which they took on a variety of employment challenges. A hybrid variety/comedy/quiz/people-show hotchpotch h&p@bbc (1999) was a flop. Similarly, their dramatisation of the Dalziel and Pascoe detectives for ITV in 1994 did not lead to success, and the BBC later attempted the serialisations with more success, with Warren Clarke and Colin Buchanan in the title roles.

They’ve also made several specials, like the 1996 Showcase Hale & Pace Down Under from Australia and April Fools Day.
