The Circus
Bringing up a family is always hard, but when you move every week, life is a little harder.
Meet the Paulos Family Circus!
Bradley Walsh is the narrator of this ITV documentary that shows that clowning around is a serious business.
Entertaining for almost 200 years, Paulos is Britain's oldest circus, but life on the road is tough.
Big Kenny, the dad and boss, runs the Big Top with his three sons, Kenny Junior: the daredevil, Patrick: the clown,
and Lee: the ringmaster. Big Kenny’s sons were all born in the circus – literally. They went to a different school
every week and started performing at the age of five. They perform death defying stunts twice daily, and pack their
entire life onto a truck every few days to move on to the next destination. In a case of ordinary people leading
extraordinary lives, The Circus offers a fascinating insight into what life is like on the road with
Britain’s oldest family circus.
