Trevor and Simon

Trevor Neal (né Williams) and Simon Hickson are a British comedy duo who appeared on BBC1 children's television series Going Live! and Live & Kicking during the late 1980s and throughout much of the 1990s. When they were first signed up for Going Live, the duo were instructed simply to be clean and funny but not to worry about specifically tailoring their material to children.

Overview

Although much of Trevor and Simon's work for the programmes took the form of one-off sketches, it is their repertoire of regular characters for which they are best remembered. These included The Singing Corner, a 1960s-style folk duo whose catchphrase was "swing your pants!"; Ken and Eddie Kennedy, the Barbers whose insanitary salon would usually be visited by the programme's star guest each week; World of the Strange, two cloaked characters who believed that everything – even the most banal, everyday occurrences – was due to mysterious supernatural forces; and the Sister Brothers, market traders of questionable character who would introduce a competition each week.
