Just William today on BBC One!

December 28th, 2010 by Lisa McGarry. 5 Comments

Warren Clarke, Caroline Quentin and Daniel Roche star as Richmal Crompton’s much-loved mischievous hero, Just William, returns to television screens with a new adaptation by Simon Nye. Taking Crompton’s timeless short stories and setting them in the Fifties, Simon has written scripts faithful to her precise portrait of British family life.

Fresh from his success in Outnumbered, a much-shorn Daniel Roche steps up to play the title role.

The stellar cast includes Warren Clarke and Caroline Quentin as new neighbours the Botts, with Daniel Ryan and Bafta winner Rebecca Front playing William’s parents. Narrating the series is the voice behind the classic recordings of the Just William stories, Martin Jarvis.

When the Bott family move into Croombe Hall, William and his gang, The Outlaws, are horrified to find themselves banned from playing in the woods. But the worst is yet to come, in the form of the frilly yet formidable Violet Elizabeth Bott. As his brother Robert, inspired by Marlon Brando’s Wild One, tries and fails miserably to romance the local ladies, William and pals Ginger, Douglas and Henry find Violet Elizabeth hard to shake off – until a game of Red Indians, a thrilling chase and a very muddy bog give the boys the chance to get even with the idiotic Mr Bott.

William is played by Daniel Roche, Violet Elizabeth Bott by Isabella Blake-Thomas, Robert by Harry Melling, Ginger by Jordan Grehs, Douglas by Edward Piercy, Henry by Robert Foster and Mr Bott by Warren Clarke.

Courtesy of Apollinas. Ingredients: Directions Heat oven to 350°F. Butter two 8?, 9? or 10? round cake pans, line the bottoms with greaseproof paper, butter again, and dust with flour, tapping out the excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.Using an electric mix, beat the butter and sugar on medium-high until fluffy – this will take around 2 to 3 minutes.
