David Halls

Presenter

David Halls was the blonde-haired half of Hudson and Halls, whose banter-filled cookery show won high ratings and a 1981 public vote for entertainer of the year. Halls also hosted games show Blankety Blank. Later Halls and his partner Peter Hudson relocated to London, and made popular cooking shows for the BBC. 

They recorded six programmes at a time. The studio reeked of garlic and other delicious things. Staff came from everywhere at the end of the recording sessions to scoff the results. Presenter Marcia Russell
