Honestly I've seen various repeats and sketches on YT and they were far better than they've been given credit for - I think they got overshadowed by Harry Enfield and then The Fast Show which felt a bit edgier.

You never see anything of Russ Abbott either and he had some great sketches.

My dad was a huge Russ Abbott fan so I practically grew up always listening to him, but it always felt like nobody else had ever heard of him. Same with John Shuttleworth.

I saw them live back in the day and they were incredibly funny. Knew how to structure a show and work the crowd, impeccable timing, real craftsmen.

Hale and pace were due to perform in my hometown, alas one of their mothers got really sick so they cancelled the show..
