Citizen James is a BBC sitcom that ran for three series between 24 November 1960 and 23 November 1962. The show featured comedian and actor Sid James and Sydney Tafler with Bill Kerr and Liz Fraser appearing in early episodes. It was initially written by the comedy writing team of Galton and Simpson, who based the characters very much on the "Sidney Balmoral James" and "Bill Kerr, the dim-witted Australian" roles that they had played in Hancock's Half Hour.
The first series was set around 'Charlie's Nosh Bar', a cafe in Soho, and centred around Sid's get-rich-quick schemes. He is helped by "Billy the Kerr" and quite often frustrated by the local bookmaker Albert Welshman. Liz Fraser played Sid's long-suffering girlfriend who has been waiting for seven years for Sid to set the date.
Changes were made to the format after the first series. Sid James' character was changed to be something of a people's champion, campaigning for social justice. Bill Kerr and Liz Fraser departed and Sidney Tafler played a different character: Charlie Davenport. The location switched from Soho to Sid and Charlie sharing a house.
Later episodes were written by then Morecambe & Wise writers Sid Green and Dick Hills.

Příběhy o největších podvodech světa vám přiblíží ti, kdo je připravili, a ti, kdo je odhalili. Jak je možné, že neblaze proslulé Hitlerovy deníky oklamaly tolik lidí? Nebo že nechvalně známý film o pitvě mimozemšťana vzbudil takovou senzaci? Jak se Orsonu Wellesovi podařilo ve svém vysílání Válka světů rozšířit paniku v celé Americe anebo nález Piltdownského člověka tak dlouho oklamával svět? Tento pořad vysvětluje, jak mnohdy historické okolnosti umožnily velmi nepravděpodobným podvodům se tak pevně uchytit. Uvidíte neobvyklé lidi, včetně odsouzeného vraha, který inspiroval k legendě o Motýlkovi, a muže, jenž dvacet let tábořil na břehu jezera Loch Ness a doufal, že třebas jen na okamžik zahlédne Lochnesskou příšeru. Kdo s těmito podvody přišel? Co jej k tomu vedlo? Kdo je odhalil a s jakými důsledky?
