I had the chance to go for a meal with Barry and Paul a few years back when a gf worked for them. Still wish I hadn't turned the offer down. RIP Barry.

Grew up watching them. RIP fella

If the pall bearers don't slip in a "To me.... To you" at the funeral, it will be a crying shame

A legend departs..

If any males are failing at a manual task in comedy style, they will be referred to as the Chuckle Brothers. That's success.

RIP

RIP, always remember the two dog outfits they had in Chuckle Hounds when I was growing up (which the Trigger Happy TV fighting dogs reminded me of!). Seemed like a really decent couple of blokes.

They won Opportunity Knocks in 1967, New Faces in 1974 and then had their own TV series in the 70s, just how old are you?

Passed me by then, but I wasn't really watching in 1967 as I was being born n stuff.

Rip Barry grew up watching chucklevision, he's from my town and a true Miller. Hope he looks down on the team after yesterday's performance. Hope Paul gets through this alright.

He's got a proper comedy legacy.

To me... To you...
Silly you... Silly me...

*doffs hat*

Cheers Barry.

Yup. You've truly made it when your name is a cultural term.
Hope his passing was swift and painless and thank you for the laughs as a kid.

Paul Chuckle has acknowledged the photo with a tweet that simply says "oh dear oh dear".

brilliant

they really were an institution, part of everyone's childhood for a certain generation

They seem to have been a constant fixture for so many years given they started in the 70s and were still relevant today.

Sad to hear the news.

Local legends for me. Met them a few times.

RIP.

I really hope they don't get this whole 'me too' thing. That would really destroy a lot of childhoods.

Rip Barry. Watched them all the time on TV in my youth. good clean fun entertainment
