The Clitheroe Kid was James Robertson Clitheroe,
Jimmy Clitheroe to most, who by some strange coincidence did come from the town
of that name without having to change his family name! At his full height he
was 4ft 3in, and played the naughty schoolboy from 1958 to 1972. Although
plausable from a distance, he was not really able to pass himself off as a
youngster close up, so a TV career did not really take off too well, but at the
peak of his fame the radio show was raking in about 10 million listeners, although
by the end this had dropped to a tenth of that figure.
