Microscopic Milton was a tiny man who lived in a clock on the mantelpiece in a house owned by Mrs. Witherspoon (who is only seen from the shoulders down), who was unaware of Milton's existence.[3] Milton was befriended by Mrs. Witherspoon's large, shaggy dog, Douglas.[4]

Each episode ran five minutes, and 26 episodes were produced.[1] The narrative was provided by sitcom star Brian Wilde though airings in America were narrated by Kristen Johnston.[5]
