William Joins the Carol Singers
William and the Outlaws perform tunelessly, disgracefully. Ancient Aunt Jane thinks it's a pack of wolves. But there’s a secret motive behind William’s seasonal contribution.
Laughter on the air with Martin Jarvis. After last year's lockdown-episodes and Feedback's recent plea for more Just William exploits, here’s another escapist bunch of five.
Apart from our lateral-thinking hero, there are some wonderful guest-star characters in this newly recorded series of classics – including control-freak Violet Elizabeth Bott, who can ‘scweam an’ sweam ‘til she’s sick!’
In Episode 1, William believes he’s as good at ‘carol-singin' as anybody in the world - ‘when I start singin' you c'n hear me at the other end of the village.’ He and his Outlaws perform tunelessly, loudly, disgracefully. Ancient Aunt Jane thinks it's a pack of wolves. An exciting, ear-splitting evening. But this Christmas, William and chums have a secret plan. It’s to ‘torture’ their relations into providing acceptable Christmas presents. Timeless comic invention.
