Early Lives
The brothers were born in Rotherham to Amy and James Patton Elliott in 1944 and 1947. Their father was a well-known Gang Show performer whose stage name was Gene Patton; he worked with the 18-year-old Peter Sellers in 1943 in 'The No. 10 Gang' and gave performances in London, Orkney, Iceland and the Hebrides, the Far East, India and Burma. They have elder brothers called Jimmy and Brian, who are known professionally as the Patton Brothers and who featured in Chucklevision, taking turns as the nameless character known colloquially by his catchphrase "no slacking".
