Just William: Rightin' Wrongs

Episode 3: William Helps the Cause

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 LW

Adapted by Martin Jarvis.

Martin Jarvis chooses and performs three more Richmal Crompton stories about her immortal hero, William Brown. Since he's recovering from flu, William is compelled to go with his mother to a planning meeting for the local Bazaar. His quietness is ill-advisedly taken for seriousness and a genuine interest in the proceedings, so, rashly, the organisers give him the responsibility of running one of the stalls. But his initial lack of enthusiasm turns into one of his greatest triumphs when his stall becomes the centre of an extraordinary incident which the village will never forget.
