Son of Fred is the successor series to The Idiot Weekly, Price 2d and A Show Called Fred. It was made by Associated-Rediffusion for ITV, which at the time was available only in the London area, the Midlands and Northern England.

It was the third and final in a series of sketch comedy shows attempting to translate the humour of The Goon Show to television. Spike Milligan concentrated on writing and only made small walk on appearances, leaving the lead acting to Peter Sellers. The series was produced and directed by Richard Lester.
