EPISODE INFO

Title: The Odd Couple

Airdate: 2020-05-18

Episode plot: Rampaging Roy Slaven and HG Nelson have been making Australia laugh for the past 35 years.



But as Australian Story found out, behind their brash alter egos, John Doyle and Greig Pickhaver lead much quieter lives.



After meeting on the set of a children’s television show in 1985, they established an act that parodied the clichés of sporting commentary. Before long they had a weekly radio show on Triple J that ran for 22 years.



Early in their career they branched into television, most famously at Channel Seven where their inimitable coverage of the 2000 Sydney Olympics brought them global attention.



This year they returned to the ABC with a new weekly show, undeterred by the cancellation of sporting fixtures in the face of COVID-19.



In an intimate and revealing Australian Story, Doyle and Pickhaver drop the masks, revealing how they were shaped by their childhoods, why they rarely socialise with one another and how their act has endured so long.
