ChuckleVision has been named the greatest CBBC series of all time.

The slapstick children's programme introduced the world to Paul and Barry Chuckle and their famous catchphrase: "To me, to you".

The show ran for over two decades, with 21 series and nearly 300 episodes before it ended in 2009.

And in a new poll of 3,000 conducted by RadioTimes.com, ChuckleVision was named the best CBBC series of all time.

It was followed by The Story Of Tracy Beaker in second place and Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow in third.

The result came days after the CBBC rated ChuckleVision "mid" tier in a ranking of its own shows posted to Twitter.

After publishing the list the channel asked: "Did we get it right?"

Paul Chuckle weighed in, replying: "No actually you didn't in my opinion.. Chucklevision 294 episodes over 21 years."

Other shows to make the magazine's top 10 include Horrible Histories, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Blue Peter, Byker Grove, Grange Hill, Maid Marian And Her Merry Men and The Demon Headmaster.
