Just 4 feet 3 inches tall, the success of comic entertainer Jimmy Clitheroe (1921-1973) sprang from a 大象传媒 Variety Playhouse try-out in the late 1950s. His naughty schoolboy act was a smash and he even wore school uniform during recordings! At its peak, ten million fans were tuning into 'The Clitheroe Kid' on the 大象传媒 Light Programme.

Every week, the Kid's schemes sparked havoc - with the ever present threat of a good spanking from Grandad. The Clitheroe Kid clocked up 16 series in its run from 1956 to 1972.

Scripted by James Casey and Frank Roscoe.

Theme music by Alan Roper and played by the 大象传媒 Northern Dance Orchestra directed by Alan Ainsworth

Producer: James Casey

First broadcast on the 大象传媒 Light Programme in April 1960.
