Hehe …. I think you may be right grannyclaret, I was getting a little mixed up as I was only about 7 or 8 years old at the time ... But I vaguely remember watching Jimmy Clitheroe on tv in the mid 60’s.

Re: looking back
 

I don't remember Jimmy Clitheroe being on TV, but was an avid listener to his radio shows in the 50s, and saw him at Blackpool once. I think he was actually a midget, but made a good living out of it.

Re: looking back
 

I don’t believe how many people over forty don’t remember him. We grew up with him, he was both on the radio and later on the telly……The only time I cried was with laughter of which I have very fond memories. Some of his last TV work was on the Charlie Drake show.

Now then, Can anyone remember Old Mother Riley.....

Re: looking back
 

"The Clithroe Kid" used to be on the radio, Sunday lunchtimes, in the 50s and 60s. His next-door neighbour was Mr Higginbottom who had a son called Ossy. I always found Jimmy Clitheroe a bit - disturbing. :eek:

Re: looking back
 

Old Mother Riley.
I used to love watching that Doug.
I would laugh till the tears flowed and everything ached.
Brilliant!

Re: looking back
 

It was good clean fun that we could understand. I loved the Saturday mornings at my nans down Canal St. She had a bigger telly; Old Mother Riley was a staple of our early Childhood. I can also remember watching Voyage the Bottom of the Sea and flash Gordon all in glorious Black and White. I’m a little sad really when it comes to the old telly. I had tears in my eyes watching “Reach for the Stars” an old Romantic war film on More 4 this afternoon.
