A special tribute video in regards to yesterday's sad news of Jimmy Patton passing away at the grand age of 87. He was the eldest of the Elliott siblings (there were six in total: Jimmy, Brian, Sheila, Colin, Barry and Paul - only Brian and Paul now surviving) and was best known for playing the Chuckle Brothers' long-suffering and eternally apoplectic and exasperated boss No Slacking. However, he also had a long and successful show business career with his brother Brian, as the Patton Brothers for over 60 years (named after their dad's own stage name: Gene Patton).
This video celebrates both his showbusiness career and time in ChuckleVision. Jimmy was a very unique and talented individual who was tremendously funny. Many of his reactions to the Chuckles' hapless antics being priceless. I also got to know him quite well and considered him a friend through Facebook, despite never meeting him in person. His daily status updates packed full of jokes and lighthearted mannerisms. He will never be forgotten.
