The last chuckle

Barry of the chuckle brothers has died at age 73.

He was not looking too good in the recent series of Chuckle time.

My youngest daughter and I always sat down to see the Chuckle brothers series, and we had mighty laughs and chuckles. Definitely a class act for a childrens show.

Reminded me of Laurel and hardy stuff, and these old time great comedies based on physical gags, and a few jokes thrown in.

Yes, Chuckle brothers will be a truly missed act. RIP.

Sad news, although I don't think I've ever actually seen their act, they are referenced so much in British culture they've become iconic.

One me... Two you.
Poor Paul.

Only 73, thought he was older.
Saw them in Panto at The Empire when my kids were younger.

Back in my hotel days, the brothers stayed with us as they were filming something in the area. Amazingly friendly even when they aren't 'on the job'. Looking at some of the older footage, I never realised they'd been in the business so long.

One of them also watched an adult movie on the in-house TV system, but I swore I'd never tell which one

I also did not know that, as i only knew them from the Chuckle brother series children's show on TV.

I sup;pose all these acts had to work their way up from the bottom and do the club circuits, till noticed.
