Paul 'Chuckle': 'I want everyone to celebrate Barry's life'
He kept it from me and he kept it from our manager Phil, he didn’t want us to know because we would have said ‘no’... but he wanted to work until he died. He wanted to die on stage like Tommy Cooper.
As one half of Britain’s most popular children’s comedy duo, Barry Chuckle was a staple of teatime television for more than thirty years. After his tragic passing last week, there was an outpouring of sympathy from some of the industry’s biggest names.
Today, we sit down with Barry’s brother and comic sidekick Paul, as he joins us exclusively to remember and celebrate a lifetime of laughter and entertainment.
