King RyderFan Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Barry Chuckle, half of the comedy duo the Chuckle Brothers, has died aged 73, his manager says. The entertainer, whose real name was Barry Elliott, starred in ChuckleVision on the BBC between 1987 and 2009. With his brother Paul, he began his comedy career on ITV talent shows Opportunity Knocks in 1967 and New Faces in 1974. Sauce: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/entertainment-arts-45074955 RIP.

Graeme Jones Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 RIP. Chuckle Bros were a big part of my childhood as well. Sad to hear of Barry's passing. ChuckleVision was a hilarious show, watched it a lot when I was a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterNation Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I grew up watching these two goofs on Chucklevision. I adored the pair of them. I can't imagine how Paul must be feeling right now. R.I.P Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I just saw this on the Comcast news reel thing that plays when you leave the tv on too long, and I said "who the hell is Barry Chuckle?" Hahaha. I guess I've seen them before (after seeing pictures)...but I have no recollection of them otherwise, and have certainly never watched them perform. RIP though.

Muur Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 That sucks, they're legends and one without the other seems wrong.

I guess I've seen them before (after seeing pictures)...but I have no recollection of them otherwise, and have certainly never watched them perform. RIP though.

Royal Nakamura Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I grew up watching these two goofs on Chucklevision. I adored the pair of them. I can't imagine how Paul must be feeling right now. R.I.P Barry. Exactly my thoughts and a part of what my friend, and I were talking about at work yesterday. R.I.P Barry, hopefully Paul will recover well in this period of grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepia Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 Ah man, part of my childhood dies with him. "To me, to you" has become ingrained in the British vocab, that's how big they were. They were very self aware in their later years, they did a signing at a metal club some years ago and I got a selfie with both of them. Great guys, it's a real shame.

MikeM Posted August 7, 2018 Report Share Posted August 7, 2018 I think they themselves said it best. "Oh dear, oh dear oh dear". RIP Barry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the...Lottery episode? when Paul told Barry to get balls with numbers 1 to 49, and Barry returned with numbers 1, 2 and the rest were all 49 LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
