RIP Barry Chuckle

The Chuckle Brothers were regular faces on TV when I was growing up.  This is very sad.

Bless him. I worked very briefly with the Chuckle Brothers in Liverpool many years ago. I played a clothes salesman with pony tail and glasses (their choice) in episode 9 from series , "Fashion". 

My scene starts at 11.24

Serious question - was that improvised or scripted?

Rehearsed with impro then filmed. There were a couple of great bits that ended up on the cutting room floor, particularly when the three of us just cracked up laughing at something stupid, twice in a row....wish I could see and share those bits.

Very cool story!

RIP

Didn't find out about this till just now but only last night after playing a gig I picked up the big sub-woofer with the singer and as we tried to get it out the door I've gone,

"To me..." 

and there was just a silence and I remembered he was living in the US back then and not known the only acceptable response is, of course,

"To you..."

Aw, bless him!

Watched them a lot when my son was little - told him the news (he’s 16 now) - seemed genuinely sad that a part of his childhood has gone....

Sad news, they were great at what they did. It must be terrible to have your brother gone after a lifetime working together.
