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 ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ 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.
