''Grandpa in my Pocket'' is a series created by the Creator/{{BBC}} about a grandpa who can apparently shrink whenever he puts on his "shrinking cap", and in each episode he would use this power to solve problems, such as finding a hamster under the floorboards or teaching a boy good manners. The series is narrated by his grandson, Jason, who is the only character to know about his secret.

The show had ran for a total of [[LongRunners four series from 2009 to 2013]], with the first three series being set in Sunnysands, while the fourth series primarily took place in a windmill where the main characters live. For the last series, the show was narrated by Josh and Elsie (Jason's cousins), who became the only characters to know Grandpa's secret.
