Life isn't so funny for Chuckle Brothers star Paul Elliott after he was injured in a motorbike smash.
He was injured when he fell off his bike during a family holiday on the Greek island of Kefalonia.
Paul and brother Barry are the stars of BBC1 show Chuckle Vision. He broke his nose and received cuts and bruises.
Some British tourists stopped at the accident, but instead of helping him out, they shouted out the Chuckle Brothers' catchphrase: "To me, to you."
Paul also got a black eye, but that shouldn't hinder his Chuckle vision.
The comedian said he was enjoying the ride when there was a steep curve in the road - and came across a shepherd with his flock of goats.
He said: "As I braked I lost control and I'm not sure exactly what happened. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor with the motorbike on top of me."

Ah come on - some people still believe the guy from a Frosties ad that was dropped a year ago is dead. Apparently he either stuck 2 pencils up his nose and headbutted a table 
or was shot by a family member 
.
(As soon as the rumour had picked up, Scott Mills had a statement from Kellog's - he's safe and living in South Africa)

Damn!
Alright alright that's callous. But I honestly don't see what's funny about this pathetic little man or his equally sad brother. I always found them a little creepy if I'm being honest.
I saw the credits to one of these shows a few weeks ago, and thought they must be repeating an old 1980s edition, only to find that the date was 2004. Have they not updated the graphics on this programme or something?

I don't think so, they're definately the same titles they've been using since the early 1990's, I know that for sure.
It's a popular programme for whatever reason or another, but I cannot believe it's still going strong after 20 years or so now! Most programmes on CBBC don't see 5 years or so these days.

The opening titles haven't changed since 1989, except for them being sped up and those clips at the top changing.
A few years back they re-edited some old episodes by framing them in widescreen, cutting five minutes out and giving them 2004 copyright dates, so it's possible you saw one of them.

People believe anything they want to believe. The Sun hyped up the Frosties Kid thing to ridiculous proportions and even went to far as to claim he was "in hiding" when in actual fact he'd never left his native South Africa in the first place and the advert was never aired there.
Anyway it turns out that the "Frosties Kid" aka Sven Ruygrok may be seen in the gymnastics section of the 2008 Olympics representing South Africa. Not bad for somebody who's apparently dead. Anyway if you end up getting talked about on Snopes with your own article, you know you've got it made
Anyway, this sort of thing isn't new - people still believe somebody hanged themselves on the set of Wizard of Oz in 1939. People still believe there's a ghost in 3 Men And A Baby. People still believe Paul McCartney died 40yrs ago and the current one is an imposter. People still believe the phrase 'W.A.N.KMEOFF' appeared on Countdown (different rumour to the "pair of w.a.n.k.ers" outtake which has been seen on many out-take shows). People still believe Elvis is still alive and didn't die in 1977.

The early programmes were slightly diffrent to the format today. they contained a segments including magic and 'Armchair theatre' read by Liverpool DJ, Billy Butler
Anyone remember the series they did before Chucklevision?.... The Chucklehounds This wasPaul and Barry in 2 big dog costumes, think it might have been silent
