Biography
Little Big Time consisted of variety acts and sketches that aired on Wednesday afternoons. The second series of the show had long segments titled Oliver In The Overworld that starred Freddie entering the overworld and befriending a grandfather clock named Oliver (portrayed by Pete Birrell). Oliver had a bad memory however, he was looked after by The Undercog (played by Graham Haberfield.)
Only 9 minutes of the show is found to remain due to the BBC wiping the tapes and reusing them as a way to save money and with no home releases, only a handful of clips remain. This method from the company has also badly affected the early 1960s episodes of Doctor Who with the majority of the First and Second Doctor episodes lost with only some found and remade.
