Recognition
Although TVGoHome has described the Chuckles as "Britain's most wizened and suspect comedy duo", recognition has come to the brothers. On 31 January 2007 Rotherham United chairman Denis Coleman announced that the brothers had both been made honorary presidents of the football club.
In November 2007, Loaded magazine launched a campaign for the brothers to be knighted, by calling for people to write to The Queen. This was picked up by a group on social networking website Facebook.
In 2008, they were honoured with the Special Award at the Children's BAFTA Awards.
