CHRISTMAS CARD COMPETITION
Did you guess our
mystery judges?
Here’s the clue !
BTRF would like to thank the legendry Hale and Pace for
agreeing to judge this year’s BTRF Calendar Competition.
Gareth Hale and Norman Pace met at Avery Hill teacher-
training college in Eltham, South-East London. After five
years in education, they moved to entertainment in the late
1970s. They performed mostly in the Tramshed in
Woolwich, London for seven years. Before appearing on
TV, they did a series of radio shows for Radio 4 based on
their show at the Tramshed. Their early TV breaks came
on The Entertainers (1984) and Pushing Up Daisies (1984),
and they went on to appear in the Channel 4 sketch
show Coming Next (1985) and Saturday Gang (1986). They
also appeared in The Young Ones three times, in the
episodes "Flood", "Nasty" and "Time".
Their most famous comic creations are the stone-faced
bouncers The Two Rons who are also known as The
Management.
Hale and Pace are also famous for their ever-smiling and
colourfully-dressed children's TV presenters Billy (Hale) and
Johnny (Pace), and rockers Jed and Dave.
