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