To me - to you - to me

I was shocked this morning to hear a story about the legendary Chuckle Brothers on BBC News 24 - not so much because a ‘News’ service has a story about a pair of childrens entertainers - I’m used to that - but because of the point of the story.

The Chuckle Brothers have been going for 20 years, well the Chuckle Brothers have probably been going a lot longer but Chucklevision, their most famous show has been going for 20 years.

I mean - I remember when they first started - I remember watching TV on a Saturday morning in 1987 (aged six) and saw these weird blokes with mustaches prancing around like idiots - I loved it - it felt like something out of the Beano come to life.

And it is a testament to their comic timing and genious that they’re still loved and enjoyed 20 years later - including by my six year old daughter.

Also - the amazingly brilliant Charlie Brooker likes them - describing them as “Britain’s most wizened comedy duo”.So I say “Oh dear, Oh dear” and done a fake mustache in salute to the greatest childrens comedy duo in Britain and possibly the world - stick Barney up your arse and ride the wave of Chuckle mania - I give you 20 years of the Chuckle Brothers.
