Synopsis

They came, they battered, they bickered. Peter Hudson and David Halls were as famous for their on-screen spats as they were for their recipes. The couple ("are we gay - well we're certainly merry") turned cooking into comedy. Their popular cooking series led to the duo winning Entertainer of the Year at the 1981 Feltex Awards. This doco explores the relationship, careers and ultimately tragic deaths of this celebrity couple. Produced by Philippa Mossman, who went on to become a TVNZ commissioner, and directed by Juliet Monaghan.
