William has been quite a star on the stage, on radio, films and T.V. over the years..................
.In 1945 - 1956 there was a radio series, comprising of 35 episodes, written and produced by Alick Hayes, and starred John Clark as William. Such was his popularity that Hurcules Bicycles used him in their advertising campaigns! |
 |
In 1939 a film was produced called Just Willam starring Dicky Lupiuno as William. |
 |
In 1947 another film was produced called Just William's Luck starring William Graham as William .In conjunction with the film, a booklet was published telling the story of the making of the film. And again, William's popularity was put to use with more advertising -- Chocolate I can agree with - but the others??? what were the advertisers thinking!!! |
|
| This was closely followed in 1948 by another, called William Comes To Town (also issued as William Goes To the Circus) with William Graham again starring as William. |  |
| On T.V. in the 1960's, the BBC showed 6 episodes of William on Saturday evenings. William was played by Dennis Waterman, who went on to star in Minder and The Sweeney. |  |
Later in the 1970's London Week-end produced 13 episodes on a Sunday evening. William was this time played by Adrian Dunnatt with Violet Elizabeth played by Bonny Langford. There were two Just William annuals produced in connection with the series in 1978 and 1979. Prior to these, William appeared in tthe Look-in Annual in 1977. |
|
In the 1990's William again appears on BBC TV with Oliver Rokison as William and Tiffany Griffiths as Violet Elizabeth. Two videos were released by the BBC showing two episodes of the series on each one. One containing 'William and the White Elephants' and 'Finding a School for William'.
