There's some exciting news for fans of the iconic children's sitcom, ChuckleVision - it may be making a comeback! It's been six years since the passing of one half of the beloved sibling duo, Barry Chuckle, but it seems his legacy could live on through a revival of the show.
For those who may not remember, Paul and Barry Chuckle were the stars of the show, which ran from 1987 to 2009 and spanned an impressive 21 series and 292 episodes. In 2018, the show was even voted as one of the greatest children's TV shows of all time by a panel from Radio Times. It's no wonder that the show is still quoted to this day, with its famous catchphrase "to me, to you."
Sadly, Barry Chuckle, whose real name was Barry Elliott, passed away at the age of 73 after being diagnosed with bone cancer. However, his brother Paul, now 76, has kept his memory alive by speaking fondly of their time together and their work on the show. And now, it seems that Paul has plans for a ChuckleVision revival, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
In a recent interview on the Secure The Insecure podcast with Johnny Seifert, Paul hinted at the possibility of a cartoon spin-off of the show, with AI technology allowing for Barry's voice to be used. Paul also shared that he still feels Barry's presence with him, especially in his dreams.
The loss of Barry is still deeply felt by Paul and everyone who knew him. But despite the sadness, Paul longs for the opportunity to work with his brother once again. He fondly remembers their time together on stage and on TV, where they were not only brothers but also colleagues.
Paul also reflected on the fun they had working together, noting that after 55 years of collaboration, they could predict each other's antics perfectly. He also shared that Barry kept his health issues a secret from those closest to him, wanting to continue working until the very end.
Paul was with Barry on his last night, along with his four grown-up sons, and remembers that they even watched their favorite football team win a game. The next day, Paul received the heartbreaking news that Barry had passed away. He wishes they had more time to say goodbye, but he believes that Barry went out on a high.
Barry was given a fitting farewell with a funeral held at the New York Stadium, where their beloved football team plays. Many fans and showbiz stars showed up to pay their respects to the beloved entertainer.
Since then, Paul has continued to work in showbiz, performing in pantomimes and working as a DJ. And now, it seems he may have another exciting project in the works - a potential appearance on the 2025 edition of Celebrity Big Brother.
There were rumors that Paul was originally meant to be a part of the 2021 season, but was dropped due to the age of the other contestants. However, sources say that he may be considered for the 2025 celebrity edition. It's still early days, but fans are hopeful to see Paul back on their screens once again.
It's clear that Barry's legacy lives on in the hearts of his loved ones and fans, and it's heartwarming to see that his memory may also live on through a potential ChuckleVision revival and other projects. Rest in peace, Barry Chuckle. You will always be remembered and missed.
