Who is "The Stig"?

I seem to recall a childrens programme called 'Stig of the Dump' which I think was about a 'caveman' type person who was befriended by some children. Hope this helps!

Stig of the Dump is a children's novel by Clive King written in 1963. It is an eternal favourite with children and parents alike and was adapted for television, firstly by Thames Television for ITV in 1981 and later by the BBC in 2002.

Stig is a caveman who lives at the bottom of the old quarry close to Barney's grandmother's house. Since the quarry is no longer in use, people throw all their rubbish away down there.

Barney finds Stig by falling through the roof of Stig's den. Barney and Stig become friends, even though they cannot talk to each other. Stig and Barney have a series of adventures together, including catching burglars breaking into Barney's grandmother's house. One night Barney and his sister Lou cannot sleep and get transported back to Stig's time where they spend a night helping his tribe complete a stone circle.

Stig means "path" in Swedish; the name indicates that a person is a pathfinder.

There are/have been many Stigs it seems. This article seems to be quite comprehensive with rumour and fact.
