Arden and Frost came to prominence in the late 1970s alternative comedy boom, and became recognisable to a national audience with regular spots on Saturday Live and roles as a pairing in several episodes of The Young Ones. They are perhaps most remembered for a long-running and award-winning series of commercials for Carling Black Label lager, one of which involved Arden and Frost stripping entirely naked.
