Who are Hamish and or Andy? Yes, seriously.
Please don’t axe this show – makes me laugh.
The part about Hamish and Andy being the fifth most watched could easily have been the heading but you can’t skip an opportunity to slag them off, can you!
Hi Gem,
I don’t think they deserve slagging off. I saw this week’s show – I thought they’d found their feet. It was very funny. I loved the body building segment.
Unfortunately the ratings fell though.

If you remove the News & Current Affairs shows then it ranks #2 behind an established Australian staple (Home & Away)….I think that’s a great result for a show that is meant to be quirky and abstract. It’s hilarious and keep up the good work guys. My wife is even watching it so it must be pulling new Ham & Ando converts!
Kirk – I think you’re absolutely right, if you removed all the programs that constantly rate well and hold good numbers, this show might be number 1. Well done with that insight.
