Watch Just William

A visit from African explorer Uncle Neville prompts William into giving a lecture on 'Interestin' Animals' but with only a dead mouse as a prop he finds himself woefully short of creatures to illustrate his talk. Until sister Ethel's rival boy-friends George and Hector both bring parrots to cheer her up when she has suspected measles. Finding the birds left in the garden lead William to believe that a well-wisher has brought them for his talk but when the boys want their gifts back they find that William drives a very hard bargain.

1950s schoolboy William Brown and his gang the Outlaws are forever getting in and out of scrapes, including trespassing at Croombe Hall, recently acquired by parvenu table sauce tycoon Mr. Bott and his cheery, expansive wife. They have a lisping, sweetly beribboned six year old daughter Violet Elizabeth, with whom a reluctant William is encouraged to play.
