Cheeky schoolboy Jimmy Clitheroe looks back over his past misdemeanours in the 100th episode.
Just 4 feet 3 inches tall, the success of comic entertainer Jimmy Clitheroe (1921-1973) sprang from a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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'. 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.
With Peter Sinclair as Grandfather, Patricia Burke as Mother, Danny Ross as Alfie, Diana Day as Susan, Deryck Guyler as Mr Holroyd and Tony Melody as Mr Higginbottom.
Scripted by James Casey and Frank Roscoe.
Pianist: Harry Hayward

First broadcast on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Light Programme in February 1964.
