Since the third series, the opening titles have consisted of Paul and Barry assembling the ChuckleVision logo while episode clips play at the top. Though the titles have been sped up and the clips changed over the years, the actual footage of them assembling the logo has remained unchanged since 1989.
When Paul Chuckle was interviewed in The Panto Podcast (2018) episode Paul Chuckle (2019), he confirmed that he and Barry were never informed about the BBC's choice to stop commissioning new series of ChuckleVision, despite the assurance they had a "lifetime contract" with the BBC, as the then-Head of CBBC, Lorraine Heggessey, confirmed to them in the 1990's. By the time Series 21 had wrapped up production in mid 2009, crew members were expressing their love for working on the show and how much they were going to miss doing so, with it being the last series, something which Paul and Barry were oblivious to. However, in 2010, when production time came for Series 22, the new Heads at CBBC were ambivalent about producing another series of ChuckleVision, convinced that showing the repeats rather than making new episodes was more justifiable as they received the same number of viewing figures as the new episodes. Similarly, the new Head of CBBC, Damien Kavanagh, refused to make a new series, despite the Chuckles' protestations, claiming that with 292 in the archive, enough had been made. However, repeats ceased completely in 2013, which the BBC cited to a struggle to find actors who had appeared in the episodes to pay them royalties. However, Paul disputed this, suggesting the trade union Equity would be able to sort that out efficiently. Paul also suggested the popularity of ChuckleVision wasn't declining, and the show was as popular as it had ever been on CBBC before its unjustified cancellation.
