[2][3] They were known for their BBC children's programme ChuckleVision, which aired from 1987 to 2009 and celebrated its twenty-first series with a 2010 stage tour titled An Audience with the Chuckle Brothers.

Their father was a Gang Show performer whose stage name was Gene Patton; he worked with the 18-year-old Peter Sellers in 1943 in The No.

[13] In 1985, the brothers launched a pre-school programme on the BBC entitled Chuckle Hounds, in which they performed routines with no dialogue, while dressed up in giant dog costumes.

In April 2018, it was announced the brothers were in the process of recording a new clip show for Channel 5, entitled Chuckle Time;[23] It ran for one series during the summer of that year, although it was cut short following the death of Barry Elliott in August 2018.

In addition, the brothers' 2008 tour, Indiana Chuckles and The Kingdom of the Mythical Sulk, set in Ancient Egypt, was released on DVD later that year.

Their final pantomime became Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at The Mayflower Theatre in Southampton, which they appeared in from 2017 until 2018 with Craig Revel Horwood.

[28] In 2017, both brothers appeared in The Funniest Man in the World, a short film directed by Jon Conway about Joseph Grimaldi, played by Barry.

In October 2014, the Chuckle Brothers collaborated with Tinchy Stryder to release a charity single "To Me, To You (Bruv)" to raise funds for the African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust.

[33] In November 2005, Jacques Peretti, a reporter for The Guardian, remarked "The appeal of the Chuckle Brothers remains a mystery to anyone over eight, but to anyone under eight, they're the ultimate entertainment experience.

"[34] On 31 January 2007, Rotherham United chairman Denis Coleman announced that the brothers had both been made honorary presidents of the football club.

[36][37] The brothers regularly appeared at events and openings, an example being the unveiling of the Tropical Butterfly House, Wildlife and Falconry Centre in North Anston in South Yorkshire in July 2013, which Barry attended.

[2] In April 2007, while on holiday on the Greek island of Cephalonia, Paul broke his nose and suffered cuts and bruises when he lost control of his motorcycle after suddenly braking to avoid a goatherd and his herd.

[48] By February 2012, no premises, staff or pupils for the school had been confirmed, despite announcing an intention on opening in September of that year.

[50] After giving evidence, the pair posed for a selfie outside Southwark Crown Court with Paul sharing it on his Twitter account.

[52] In March 2016, Barry received condemnation for sharing a Facebook post from the far-right political party Britain First.

The post, originally shared in June 2015, called on politicians to strip migrants of their citizenship if they left the country to join a terror group.

He recorded a video message for his Twitter followers, urging them to stay at home to slow the spread of the disease.
