Paul Chuckle Brands BBC’s Tribute To Late Brother Barry ‘A Slap In The Face’

Speaking to Radio Times, Paul said: “That again was a slap in the face. They could have at least put it on the BBC – not iPlayer

“They asked permission and I said ‘why not on main TV?’”

ChuckleVision aired for 21 series between 1987 and 2009, with nearly 300 episodes produced, making it one of the longest-running kids’ series on UK television.

The show recently featured on a controversial CBBC ranking of their most famous programmes, with many fans outraged that it did not feature in the highest tier. 

Paul tweeted his unhappiness with its ‘mid tier’ placement at the time, and has now added to Radio Times: “It was absolutely ridiculous what they put. People were saying how stupid this is.

“It doesn’t really mean anything it’s just another slap in the face from CBBC.”
