Jonny Briggs

Now a real treat for anyone who grew up in the UK in the mid 80's. The adventures of a working class boy named Jonny Briggs!



Based on a series of popular children's books by Joan Eadington, Jonny Briggs is a Children's BBC kitchen sink realism television programme first broadcast in 1985. The programme is set in Middlesbrough and revolves around the exploits of a young boy, the eponymous hero, his pet dog, Razzle, and his eccentric family members: Mam and Dad, older sister Rita and older brothers Albert and Humph (Humphrey). Another older sister, Marilyn, is mentioned but never seen.
The stories often centre on Jonny's school life, where he and his best friend Pam are constantly in battle with the dreadful twins Ginny and Josie.
