To me to you: Chuckle Brothers visit Watford
Children's TV superstars The Chuckle Brothers thumbed the pages of the Watford Observer this afternoon as they took a well-earned break from filming. The famously anarchic pair are in town to film three new episodes for the forthcoming series of Chuckle Vision - which first aired in 1987. After a morning's filming in and around the Cassiobury Estate Paul and Barry gathered with around 20 cast and crew for lunch at the Fullerians Rugby Club.

Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand and Peter Kay maybe the country's top comedians but if you ask most children who's their favourite funny-men you'd probably hear the same response - The Chuckle Brothers. After more than twenty years on our screens the comedy legends that are Barry and Paul Chuckle continue to think up of wacky adventures or crazy ways to make a quick bob, to the comic delight of the under tens.
