You’ll have seen the sad news that Barry Chuckle has died, aged 73. There have been no end of tributes – many of which you can read here – but we think this might be our favourite.

Awful sad news about Barry Chuckle. A staple of my childhood. Here’s a wonderful twitter conversation he held over SIX years with Paul, and I think it gives a real insight to both men. pic.twitter.com/875u5WqmPe
