Wiki.
Jonny Briggs is a Children's BBC kitchen sink realism television programme first broadcast in 1985. It revolves around the exploits of a young boy, the eponymous hero (played by Richard Holian), his pet dog, Razzle, and his eccentric family members: Mam (Jane Lowe) and Dad (Leslie Schofield), older sister Rita (Sue Devaney) and older brothers Albert (Tommy Robinson) and Humph (Humphrey) (Jeremy Austin). 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 Jinny and Josie.
Previously some of the Jonny Briggs books by Joan Eadington were read on Jackanory. In the books Jonny has two older sisters—Pat and Sandra.
The programme was filmed in Bradford and set in Middlesbrough
The theme tune "The Acrobat" composed by J A Greenwood in 1936, is considered synonymous with the series. The piece of music chosen for the programme was recorded by trombonist Colin Buchanan.
