The New Zealand produced cooking show ran from 1976 to 1986, and featured two men guiding the audience through a variety of recipes with flair, drama, and innuendo. There was the blond, affable, British-born David Halls and the smaller and snappier Australian, Peter Hudson. They bickered, camped and drank while creating complex dishes for an audience more used to meat and three veg. "I'm adding a few twists of coarse black pepper to that — very good for the wrist action,"” Peter Hudson murmured over one recipe. The programme was extremely popular and survived mystifying attempts by TVNZ to cancel it.
