OK, got another couple of questions for you.
About 5 years ago I planted a couple of little bushes/shrubs in one of my
borders.
I forget what sort they were, but the first one, although it was a slow
grower, seems to have not grown at all. Looks rather unhealthy and has dead
bits on.
I did pull back the gravel and put a bit of compost round the roots earlier
this year, but hasn't done much good. Heres a pic of the first...

The second bush/shrub does seem to have grown. But looks rather sparse and
also has dead bits on it.

I know its getting into autumn, but they don't look much better in the
summer.
Clearly they're not very happy, anything I can do to try and improve their
look?
Thanks in advance!

You don't say where you live but we have had a very dry summer and I
think they could just be in need of a drink. Rain is forecast but if
they were mine I'd give then a jolly good soak.
I'll leave it to those with better eyesight than mine to give you
names.
Nice Autumn colours and they don't look too bad.
