Other Appearances
As well as their 1991 single The Stonk, the duo also appeared in their guise as the Two Rons in a firework safety campaign run around Guy Fawkes Night, in trailers that were run for several years in the late 1980s/early 1990s, in slots often directly after Children's BBC, but also occasionally during ITV commercial breaks.
Hale & Pace continued their charity work with a 1992 stint as spokespersons for the National Egg Awareness Campaign. After some years away from television, they moved across to the BBC in 1997 and starred in the three-part series, Jobs for the Boys, a non-comedic show in which they took on a variety of employment challenges.
The duo also appeared, in brief, humorous roles of shop-keepers Harvey and Len, in Part One of the 1989 Doctor Who story Survival. This gave them the distinction of appearing in what turned out to be the last ever story in the show's original 1963-89 run.
A hybrid variety/comedy/quiz/people-show 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 appeared working in a shoe shop in episode two of The Armando Iannucci Show (2001). More recently they appeared in the Christmas Special of the Gervais and Merchant show "Extras", broadcast in December 2007.
