The Adventure of the Spies

A brilliant episode from the fifth series of 'Chucklevision' which will go down as one of the very best episodes of 'Chucklevision'

Paul and Barry on the way home from the laundrette see a poster advertising a circus. There is a phone number about getting tickets. Paul remembers the first part of the number, Barry the second. Barry gets his bit wrong and they get through to a Spy. They get confused, Paul and Barry think they are talking about the tickets. They are told they are under the park bench. They go there and leave the money and take an envelope. In the envelope there are secret government papers. Two spies turn up (stereotypical spies- sunglasses, a hat and a rain coat) and see they have the envelope. After some hilarious chases, Paul and Barry still have the envelope and run them into the Police Station. Now all this is done, they hear the sound of the circus and there they go.

An episode which for me is just as funny then when I first saw it when it was first transmitted. I was much younger then. Surprisingly the third episode of series thirteen is also titled 'Wrong Number' Best Bit: The Brothers are disguised. They are questioned by the spies who let them go. Then Barry says: 'Thankyou Mr Spy'
