		In 2001 a portrait of Roy and HG by artist Paul Newton won the Packing Room award and the People's choice award at the Archibald Prize.

	Print Article: Hats, and trousers, off to Australian women as Roy and HG pass commentary
		Having Roy and HG call live matches, rather than merely mock them on replay, will no doubt distress those viewers more comfortable with an earnest dissection of backhands and ball tosses than they are with the pearls of wisdom gleaned from Roy's years under coach Herbie Wilson.
		But whatever you think of the move, Roy and HG found themselves thoroughly upstaged by the 19-year-old Stosur, who produced a performance of such conviction that you could only concur when HG said he had to "take my hat and my trousers off to Lesley Bowery".
		It is the sort of match at which Roy and HG should have no trouble expanding their already long list of new-age tennis terms - "mini hole", "receiving for the set" and "losing the argument" are a few early favourites.

		Messrs Slaven and Nelson might be virtual unknowns in Britain - though they did host 10 shows of Planet Norwich here in 1998 - but they have been drawing audiences of 900,000 during their nightly programme, The Cream, on Channel 7.
		As a duo they beat Ant and Dec, a slick combo whose goody- two-shoes image is the antithesis of HG and Roy - brash, rudely patriotic, juvenile, and funny in a not-so-funny way.
		Arguably Section 30A: âseditious intention' means the death knell to any and all satirical comedy on TV and elsewhere; no CNNNN, no Roy and HG on the election and no John Safran.
