Posted: June 19th, 2009.
Network Distributing is excited to announce the release of this delightful television series JUST WILLIAM – THE COMPLETE FIRST SERIES (PG). Based on the series of books by Richmal Crompton, this popular LWT adaptation ran from 1977 to 1978. This release is out on 22nd June 2009 as a 2-disc set, RRP £19.99.
Scruffy, crafty but utterly likeable school boy William Brown lives his life like endless series of adventures, that delight and amuse a whole generation of viewers both adults and children alike. He cannot help but be wholly engaging despite his mischief and escapades. His liveliness is made all the more compelling set against the stultifying, self-satisfied dullness of his middle-England family his banker father, terribly reasonable mother, desperately inspirational older sister Ethel and pompous ladies man brother Robert. The series features Adrian Dannatt as the eponymous William, along with his equally likeable gang the Outlaws Ginger, Henry and Douglas. The gang William in particular is fearless and ingenious in their various ventures and makes themselves the banes of parents everywhere. The only one that would dull the spring in Williams steps is Violet Elizabeth Bott, the ghastly daughter of the nouveau riche family Mr. and Mrs. Bott, who has a fail-safe master plan for whenever William should fail to give in to her demands
Though adapted several times since 1951, this Sunday teatime version from LWT is undoubtedly the most popular and famous. It was a thundering success with viewers of all ages and featured high calibre guest stars such as Diana Dors, Julian Fellowes and Ronald Lacey
The DVD is released on June 22nd, it runs for 325 mins and retails for £15.99 on DVD,but is currently on Amazon at the link above for £11.69.
