Just William

Trailer

Based on the classic comedy classics by Richmal Crompton, this BBC series follows the exploits of mischievous 11-year-old William Brown (Daniel Roche, Outnumbered) and his band of adventurous "outlaws" in 1950s England. He reminds us of a time when the country really was the country - a time when children were as free as birds with nothing to feed on but their imaginations - a time when they could leave the house at breakfast and not come home until teatime. Called a "charming romp" by The Guardian, this BAFTA-winning drama is voiced by Martin Jarvis who worked on the classic "Just William" recordings. Also starring Rebecca Front (Humans), Daniel Ryan (Home Fires), Lily James (Cinderella), Caroline Quentin (Doc Martin) and Warren Clarke (Poldark). (4 EPS, 2010)
