# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
ChuckleVision is a popular British television series shown mainly on CBBC. New episodes are always first aired on BBC One, and occasionally episodes are shown on BBC Two. The first episode was shown on 26 September 1987 and the final series ended 18th December 2009. The show was then cancelled by the BBC due to declining ratings.

It follows the adventures of the Chuckle Brothers & the Patton Brothers, who find themselves in all sorts of situations that they must cope with. The twenty-first series of ChuckleVision started on 11 December 2009 on BBC One. A 3D movie is was also in production, until it was announced there was not enough funding to make it and it has now been delayed until a certain point.

Episodes of ChuckleVision are usually independent. The basic plot to each show is the brothers undertaking some sort of job, task or adventure. They are often employed by a character known as No Slacking, who is always played by the brothers' real-life brother, Jimmy Patton.

No Slacking is meant to be a different character in every episode he appears in; however, he is always known by this name owing to the catchphrase he always says to get the bumbling brothers to work properly. No Slacking usually appears several times in each series, although in recent years this number has been reduced to once or twice a series. In each episode his life is either ruined or otherwise inconvenienced by Paul and Barry. A large amount of the comedy is based on slapstick.

It started with a custard pie and went on to become a 13-year, £25,000 obsession for one 43-year-old man from County Durham.

And now school caretaker Shaun Hope is taking his interest to a new level by organising a campaign to see children's comedy duo the Chuckle Brothers return to the small screen.

Mr Hope, from Willington, first met the pair in 2001, when he volunteered to go up on stage.

"I was at the panto with the school trip and they asked for some dads to go on stage.

"One of the teachers pushed me forward. The Chuckle Brothers slapped a pie in my face and that was that. I've been a fan ever since," he said.

A short history of Chuckles

Barry, 69 and Paul Elliott, 66, grew up in Rotherham, South Yorkshire

The brothers won talent show Opportunity Knocks in 1967 and regularly appeared on TV and on stage in the 1970s and 80s

ChuckleVision was first shown in 1987, running for 21 series and 292 episodes

The show was nominated for the Best Children's TV Series award at the Children's BAFTAs in 1998

Last year the brothers guest edited The Northern Echo while appearing in pantomime in Darlington

If the duo from Rotherham have put their name or face on it, it can most likely be found in the spare bedroom of Shaun's County Durham home.

"I think kids of today are really missing out by not being able to see ChuckleVision," he said.

"It was good, clean fun for all the family, a real Laurel and Hardy type show, even if you didn't like them you still laughed."

More than 5,000 people have signed his online petition and almost 200,000 are fans of the Chuckle Brothers' Facebook page, now managed by Shaun and the son of Paul 'Chuckle' Elliott.

His collection, which he acknowledges as being "a bit daft", contains more than 2,000 Chuckle Brothers-related artefacts.

From tour posters and hand bills to scripts, DVDs and baseball caps, Shaun has amassed a veritable museum dedicated to the duo - including the Chuckle I number plate from their pedal-powered cart.

With the brothers regularly touring, there is still plenty to collect.

"They do a summer show every year which is usually a parody of a film, and then of course they are in the panto over winter," said Mr Hope.

"I will never stop, I know it's a bit daft but I love it and I really like getting new stuff to add to the collection, I don't think I will ever have enough."

But would he sell his collection for £1m?

"Well you've got to be sensible haven't you? With that sort of money you could start a really good Crankies' collection."

Asked what they thought of their superfan, Barry and Paul Chuckle said: "Shaun really is a very nice chap.

"We have a very special place in our hearts for all our fans but the ones who go the extra mile get Chuckle points and what do Chuckle points make? Laughter and happiness.

"There are wonderful fans all over the country. The most-asked question we always receive is 'why isn't ChuckleVision on TV?'"

But perhaps most excitingly of all for him, Mr Hope has also often become a part of his idols' show.

"They always ask for three dads to go up at the end. If they don't get enough volunteers I go for it. They must have hit me in the face with pies at least 30 or 40 times by now.

"I can't wait for their next show."

Children's television star Jimmy Patton has tied the knot with a fan he met on Facebook - despite a 59 YEAR age gap.

The 85-year-old was a regular on Chucklevision alongside his younger brothers Barry and Paul Elliott.

He's tied the knot with Amy Phillips, 26, after popping the question in 2015.

And the TV personality was still going strong on the dancefloor at midnight, according to The Sun .

Jimmy and his bride said 'I do' at the Southport Theatre and Convention Centre last weekend and are off to Gran Canaria for a romance-filled honeymoon.

But while some may think there's quite a significant age gap, Amy's mum Mary said it isn't an issue for her.

She told the newspaper: "The age gap doesn't bother them or us at all. It's love- so it doesn't matter.

"Amy is happy and so are we. We are delighted and very proud."

The retired comedian previously admitted he "never thought" he would find love again after the death of his wife Valerie five years ago.

Traditional Jimmy asked Amy's father's permission before he popped the question.

Describing the proposal in the couple's living room in South Yorkshire, he said: "It was emotional. Thankfully she said yes."

The couple's Facebook profiles are full of romantic pictures from days out.

Amy wrote following a trip to Southport: "Another lovely day in Southport with my sweetheart.

"We hired a motor boat and my darling steered us around the Marine Lake, it was very relaxing and romantic."

Jimmy and younger brother Brian appeared on Chucklevision from 1990-2009 where his catchphrase was: "Remember - no slacking."

He also appeared on Seaside Special, The Good Old Days, and David Nixon's Comedy Bandbox.
