ChuckleVision is a British children's comedy television series created by Martin Hughes and the Chuckle Brothers for the BBC.[1] It starred Barry and Paul Elliott as the Chuckle Brothers and occasionally their older brothers, Jimmy, and Brian Elliott (known professionally as the Patton Brothers).
It aired to critical acclaim and notoriety becoming widely known among a large span of generations for their Yorkshire humour and catchphrases such as "To me, to you" and "Oh dear, oh dear". It ran for 292 episodes over twenty-two years from 1987 to 2009.
In January 2018 it was voted as one of the greatest children's TV shows of all time by a Radio Times panel of experts.[2] Further in August 2019, it was voted the best CBBC show of all time by readers of Radio Times.[3]
