When Aitken was about 14 years old his father was appointed to the post of CEO of Raleigh Industries, then a listed company, and the family moved from Scotland to Nottingham. Aitken was then sent to an extremely minor public school called Whittlebury .<br /><br /> Aitken, whose name was later abbreviated to Ken for the purposes of advancing his acting career, got his first movie role in the film of the Gordon Williams book, 'The Siege of Trencher's Farm'.
