Lee and Blake then hosted a televised comedy programme on Australia’s Seven Network, The Hamish and Andy Show, which was shortly cancelled after bad ratings.

Another early TV project the duo took part in creating was the mockumentary TV show Real Stories (not to be confused with True Story, a later series by the pair).
