Career
Career
Lillicrap began his career as a secondary school teacher in Mansfield, but later transitioned into repertory theatre where he worked alongside Zoë Wanamaker, Jonathan Pryce and Richard Eyre. In 1976, he auditioned to become a presenter on the children's programme Playschool, but his style was considered overly theatrical. A BBC producer who saw his performance informed him of a new programme in development, Playboard, and invited him to present and compose original songs for the production. Storyboard launched a substantial career for Lillicrap in children's television, earning numerous writing credits in various shows including Rainbow, Fab Lab, and Fimbles, We'll Tell You a Story, and Flicks. Lillicrap is also the creator of the educational television series Numberline, which spawned the spinoff El Nombre. Lillicrap has co-written numerous pantomimes and children's shows for the theatre with his actress wife Jeanette Ranger. Their musical Monty Moonbeam's Magnificent Mission won the TMA/Martini Award for Best Show for Young People. He no longer performs in pantomime following his wife's stroke.
