They began their career as a [[double act]] in the 1950s.

==Biography==
The brothers' father, Jimmy Elliott, was a comedian who later became known as Gene Patton. Jimmy and Brian grew up in [[Rotherham]], like their brothers the [[Chuckle Brothers]] but were born in [[Kent]]. Their other brother Colin never became an actor, he was, instead, a car mechanic. Their sister, Sheila, a dancer, was married to the actor [[Bill Waddington]].

When Jimmy left school in 1946, he joined "Britain's Dead End Kids" and appeared in five pantomimes before Brian joined him. The brothers got their big break in 1956 when they performed in ''[[Aladdin]]'' as Chinese policemen. Over the course of their career they appeared alongside British pantomime favourites such as [[Barbara Windsor]], [[Ronnie Corbett]] and [[John Inman]].

Both Jimmy and Brian made appearances in the children's television series ''[[ChuckleVision]]'' alongside their younger brothers Paul and Barry. Jimmy's character was known as "No Slacking" due to the [[catchphrase]] that he constantly used to berate the Chuckle Brothers; Brian's was known as "Get Out Of It!" for similar reasons. Prior to ''ChuckleVision'', all four brothers had appeared together on the game show ''[[3-2-1]]'' in 1982 and the talent show ''[[New Faces]]''.

In 2015, Jimmy became engaged to a 25-year-old ''ChuckleVision'' fan whom he had met via [[Facebook]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = Chuckle Brother star to marry fan 59 years younger than him|url = http://metro.co.uk/2015/09/19/chucklevisions-no-slacking-guy-jimmy-patton-to-marry-fan-59-years-younger-than-him-5398488/|accessdate = 2015-09-27|first = Jackson |last=Coley|website = Metro.co.uk}}</ref> The couple married in 2017.<ref name="YorkshirePost">{{Cite web|url=http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/chuckle-brother-and-south-yorkshire-resident-jimmy-patton-85-weds-26-year-old-girlfriend-1-8502350|title=Chuckle Brother and South Yorkshire resident Jimmy Patton, 85, weds 26-year-old girlfriend|website=www.yorkshirepost.co.uk|language=en|access-date=2017-04-21}}</ref>
