ChuckleVision ran for 22 years uninterrupted, which for a scripted Children's show is something I don't think will ever be beaten for the same show to run continuously.
Only Sooty, Jackanory and Playschool beats that, but they've been fronted by different people over the years. Paul and Barry fronted that show the whole way through.
Of course as well there were indeed four 'Chuckle Brothers', Jimmy and Brian were their older brothers. Jimmy probably the most well known as being Mr 'No Slacking'.
Are you counting Blue Peter and Newsround as unscripted? Because I'm pretty sure they're not... and Grange Hill definitely isn't.
Also that's just the UK, Sesame Street certainly beats it, and Power Rangers is on it's 25th anniversary (it's Japanese source being 43 years old).
Of course none of those shows have maintained a constant cast throughout. That's what was so amazing about Chucklevision.
