Chuckle Brothers Barry and Paul make TV comeback at combined age of 143 with new Channel 5 show
COMEDY legends The Chuckle Brothers are making a TV comeback at the combined age of 143.
Barry, 73, and Paul Elliott, 70, famed for their “To me, to you” catchphrase, will front Chuckle Time on Saturdays.
The Channel 5 teatime show is their first since kids’ favourite ChuckleVision ended in 2009 after 21 series.
They will introduce funny internet and audience clips and perform sketches.
A comedy source said: “It’s going to be fun for all the family, a bit like You’ve Been Framed but with more of the brothers’ own input.
“Paul and Barry have spent their lives falling over and making the public laugh, now they are watching us make fools of ourselves.”

The duo’s ChuckleVision mishaps were a hit for 22 years from 1987, and they recently guest starred on ITV’s Benidorm.
The 12 hour-long episodes of Chuckle Time will be made by So Television.
