When Paul and Barry hear that Dan the Van's mansion is to be demolished they handcuff themselves to each other to register their protest. By the time they find out that it is not going to be knocked down after all they have lost the key to the handcuffs are - literally - stuck with each other.

Barry and Paul help a lady in distress by shifting a skip from in front of her drive but it keeps slipping away and ending up in - and demolishing - No Slacking's garden.The brothers find a buyer for the skip but have to buy it back again because they've left their tickets for the big match inside it. No Slacking eventually claims the tickets so the Chuckle Brothers have to find another use for the skip.

Paul secretly enters Barry for 'Don't Lose Your Rag', a hidden camera reality show. If Barry can survive a succession of humiliating experiences without losing his cool then there is a cash prize in it - for Paul. But Barry begins to suspect.

After a visit to the Garden Centre the Chuckle Brothers are captured by aliens from outer space who hold them prisoner on their space-ship. Their mission is to find out how the human brain works but, peculiarly, they choose Paul as the 'mind' they want to study. Can the brothers escape?

Whilst working at Dan the Van's niece's Japanese restaurant Paul eats a dish of sushi, to which he is allergic, and he balloons in weight. An authentic Japanese evening is planned so he is forced to take part in a Sumo wrestling match to take advantage of his predicament.

The Chuckle Brothers fly out to be judges in the Slapsbergen talent festival in the Alps. There are three main contenders for the prize and they take it all very seriously. So seriously that each one threatens the Chuckle Brothers with death if they choose one of the others. How can they please everyone and stay alive?

The Chuckle Brothers are looking after the formidable Mrs. Metherby's parrot Polly, but of course they leave the window open and Polly flies out of the flat. The obvious solution is to replace Polly with an exact double. Will Mrs. Metherby tell the difference - given the fact that the latest parrot uses very rude language?

The Chuckle Brothers are working for a Mr. Jensen but they resign in protest when they see that he cheats at tennis. When Mrs. Grimthorpe, his next door neighbour, suggests that they play him on her behalf in the annual tennis tournament, the court is set for a true grudge match.

Then the brothers discover that the Guru is hoarding a television and other electrical goods. Can they convince the rest of the commune?

Called out to fix the plumbing for Mrs. Bradstock Paul and Barry discover that a Sumatran man-eating caterpillar is roaming loose in her lounge. They give chase and when they finally corner it Mrs. Bradstock assures them it is a harmless pet. But.. . she has another one, which is not harmless.

Having eaten a dodgy pizza the Chuckle Brothers and super-hero Troy Whizz are frozen in suspended animation for five hundred years, and when they wake up they find the Universe is at the mercy of Ping the Pitiless. With Troy out of action it is down to Paul and Barry to save everyone from the villainous designs of Ping.

The Chuckle Brothers are enjoying a picnic at Barker's Oak when a stroppy man tells them they have stolen his usual spot and demands that they move. They refuse and the situation escalates as the man goes head to head with Barry in a dual using ketchup bottles. Fortunately for the brothers a goat is about to come to their rescue.

When Paul and Barry get into a cable car on their skiing holiday they fail to notice the driver on the roof trying to mend it but they do see his pet yeti. When it starts to rain the car floods and groans under the weight of its four occupants as safety demands only two passengers use it at a time. Will they plummet to their deaths? Or end up as trophies on the hunting lodge wall?

Paul and Barry are all set to make a fortune out of marketing Old Mother Chuckle's Home-Made pickle, a recipe that has been handed down through the generations. . . before being lost by Barry. Will the brothers be able to find it again, or will they end up well and truly in a pickle?
