The Knight at Arms
4 Extra Debut. Richmal Crompton's mischievous schoolboy William Brown becomes a heroic knight to succour the oppressed. Read by Martin Jarvis.
He's back! Who? Just William.
Richmal Crompton's grubby, tousled, William Brown occupies his usual would-be-heroic starring role in three stories new to Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4, brought to definitive life, as ever, by Martin Jarvis.
In this opening tale, William, inspired by his history teacher's accounts of medieval derring-do, sets out with his faithful squire Ginger to succour the oppressed. They come upon a beautiful damsel who is unquestionably oppressed, and therefore clearly in need of helpful succouring!
But as so often with William, things aren't quite what they seem.
Director: Pete Atkin
