==Production and broadcast== The main writer throughout the series' run was John Sayle, who wrote most of the episodes in each series. Episodes have also been written by [[Russell T Davies]] and [[Chuckle Brothers|The Chuckle Brothers]] themselves.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Guide |first=British Comedy |date=2022-09-26 |title=Writing ChuckleVision |url=https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/chucklevision/features/writing-chucklevision/ |access-date=2024-02-20 |website=British Comedy Guide |language=en}}</ref> From Series 14 onwards, the run time of each episode was reduced from twenty minutes to fifteen. Series 12 and 13 were also re-edited to match the new run times. From Series 14 onwards, [[outtake]]s were shown during the credits of each episode. For Series 4, a new theme arrangement was produced by Dave Cooke. This remained from then on, but was shortened from Series 17. From Series 13 onwards, all episodes were shot in [[widescreen]]. The series ended its 22-year run at the end of 2009, due to dropped ratings and less interest by the [[BBC]], with the final series airing in December of that year. Repeats occurred regularly until the end of 2012. The 2008 Christmas Special became the last episode to be broadcast on [[CBBC]], being shown on Christmas Day 2013.
