Neil and Christine Hamilton in brief!

Christine Hamilton appears regularly on TV and radio, from entertainment to news and current affairs programmes. Her repertoire includes everything from Have I Got News for You, Bo Selecta and Harry Hill to Any Questions, Loose Women and Newsnight. She presented a 10-part Granada series Home and has deputised for Gloria Hunniford and Fern Britton on their flaghip shows Open House and This Morning. She writes a weekly column for the Western Daily Press, a monthly column for gay magazine Refresh and ad hoc for other newspapers, magazines and periodicals.

From 1983-97 Neil Hamilton was one of Britain's best known MPs and a Government Minister under Margaret Thatcher and John Major. Now, as well being an author, broadcaster and media personality, he is Chairman of Sheila Childs Recruitment, a company which specialises in senior secretary and PA placements. His book, Great Political Eccentrics, was published in 1999 (now in paperback under the title Politics Strangest Characters) and bulges with hilarious stories of the colourful characters who made Britain the World's Leading Political Asylum.

Neil Hamilton was The Spectator's Parliamentary Wit of the Year in 1988. He can make a riotous after dinner speech or deliver a serious lecture in an entertaining way. However serious the topic, he is also guaranteed to entertain. In great demand as a speaker, he has addressed a huge variety of audiences - from seminars of a dozen to vast conferences of thousands.

He has written for most British national newspapers and broadcasts frequently on TV and radio. He has appeared on a huge range of programmes from Have I got News for You to Newsnight, and from Ali G to Question Time.

There is so much more to this publicity seeking duo; for example, Christine appeared on the car crash TV show I'm A Celebrity get Me Out of Here.  They have been accused of rape, which went to court but was found to be a set up. The biggest thing they were accused of was bringing down the Conservative Government for taking money in brown paper bags for asking questions in Parliament on behalf of Mohammed El Fayed, owner of Harrods and father of Dodi.  Neil then tried to sue Fayed which resulted in him losing and becoming bankrupt.

Today they are promoting the scheme for Marwell Zoological Park to become Zoo Keepers for the day for the public, and as you can see by the photos they are by no means camera shy!
