COMIC Paul Chuckle says the ChuckleVision theme tune saved a dying girl’s life — by bringing her out of a coma.
The entertainer, 71, said the eight-year-old’s health deteriorated after contracting meningitis and her life support had been due to be turned off.
But she never missed his hit TV show so in a last desperate bid, her mum played her the theme tune.
After a few minutes the girl opened her eyes and asked: “Is it on mummy?”
Paul says he was told the story by the girl’s mum before a Chuckle Brothers tour show in Basingstoke. He explained: “She was on a life support machine and they told her if she hadn’t come round by Monday, they would turn off machines off and that’s it.
“The little girl was a massive ChuckleVision fan and never missed an episode.
“So the mum recorded the theme tune on loop and returned to her bed to play her the music."
Summing up the miracle, Paul added: “I thought from then on, if we do nothing else in the world, at least we’ve saved a little girl’s life.”
Paul was reflecting on the heartwarming tale six months after the death of his brother and comedy partner Barry.
