JUST WILLIAM LIVE, 6.30PM, RADIO 4

A CLOUD of doom hangs over William Brown’s tousled head as he drags himself to school on the last day of term. He knows that a bad report is coming his way — and once his father has read it, he will have to spend the holidays trapped at home with a tutor, who will have the impossible task of turning William (pictured) from a savage into a scholar. Over the years, Martin Jarvis has been delivering perfectly pitched readings of Richmal Crompton’s comic masterpieces in theatres and on radio, and he’ll have you laughing your socks off with the classic tale of William And The School Report.
