Just William was an ITV television series based on the Just William series of books by Richmal Crompton. It ran for two series between 1977 and 1978. The series starred child actors Adrian Dannatt and Bonnie Langford as well as established film star Diana Dors.
Two annuals based on the series were published by World Distributors (Manchester) Ltd. for 1978 and 1979 (published in late 1977 and 1978 respectively). These consisted mainly of features, games and activities, with picture strip stories also included.
Both series of Just William – but excluding the double-length 1977 Christmas special William's Worst Christmas – have been released on DVD by Network. Series One (released 18 May 2009) and Series Two (released 24 September 2009) are available individually as 2-disc sets, and also packaged together as Just William: The Complete Series
