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".

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or lives:
“I believe that if we are to survive as a planet, we must teach this next generation to handle their own conflicts assertively and nonviolently. If in their early years our children learn to listen to all sides of the story, use their heads and then their mouths, and come up with a plan and share, then, when they become our leaders, and some of them will, they will have the tools to handle global problems and conflict.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
“Someone little lives under a bush
pressing an empty Coca-Cola can against
his starving bloated stomach,
I know that much.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
