Sir,
As a huge fan of the popular 1990’s sitcom, Chucklevision, I was overjoyed to see that it was being given a reboot on another channel, just like everything else these days. I was slightly surprised it was on Disney but was absolutely thrilled to see how the Brothers Chuckle had finally made it to the big time and were about to be given the international recognition that they have always deserved. Hoping no doubt to replicate the success of Jonathan Ross and Des Lynam when they left the BBC, I feel this has left them looking more like Steph Mcgovern. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. The many questions I had of how they would get around the death of Barry Chuckle back in 2018 were soon to be turned in to my worst nightmares. Barry was replaced by a woman! The dynamic of the brothers was gone forever. As were the catchphrases! As I was hoping to howl with laughter at the never over-used “to me, to you” banter and slapstick comedy I remember from my youth, I was instead met with a pastiche of American sitcoms (and hints at super heroes rather bafflingly) and absolutely no references to Rotherham United. And where was the “No Slacking” guy? Frankly, if they were trying to recreate that “classic” sitcom feel for this new series then it is a huge oversight to leave out who is, without a doubt, the most hilarious character! A little less “I Love Lucy”, a lot more “No Slacking” please! Until these glaring oversights are rectified, I will not be watching any more. Well, maybe just the next episode to see if the guy who only says “GetOutOfIt!” returns. Yours disappointedly, Mr Elliot Thrombwhistle, 84
