Little Tich came to us in a very sad and bedraggled state. He had been stored in a damp garage for many years and was dead on his feet at a precarious angle. The mechanism was rusted and broken, the original suit and hat were almost completely eaten by moth and his famous big boots no longer fit for the stage.
You can see the trails and tribulations of his dramatic restoration on Salvage Hunters – The Restorers Series 5 Episode 4 First on Wednesday 20th April on Quest TV UK and stream on Discovery Plus UK.
