0:00:23 > 0:00:25William Brown was very much...

0:00:25 > 0:00:27- a boy.- I could easily be a bat.

0:00:27 > 0:00:30The blood's gone to my head.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Why do bats hang upside down?

0:00:32 > 0:00:36They don't think it's upside down. They think we're upside down.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38- We are.- Oh! Ow!

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Sadly, William's vision of what being a boy meant, and what boys

0:00:42 > 0:00:45should and shouldn't do, wasn't shared by everyone.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47- Oi!- Run!- You're trespassing!

0:00:49 > 0:00:51- Stay right there!- Argh!

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Come here!

0:00:55 > 0:01:00William, and his friends, Ginger, Douglas and Henry, were The Outlaws.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04Where you going? ' Ere!

0:01:04 > 0:01:06Stop! Ow!

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Oi!

0:01:09 > 0:01:12They didn't take kindly to having their fun interrupted.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Fortunately, running away was fun, too.

0:01:16 > 0:01:20BOYS: Ha-ha! Ah, come here!

0:01:20 > 0:01:22Get me out of here!

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Now I'm really cross! Come 'ere!

0:01:41 > 0:01:42I'll give you what for!

0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Bob!- Boys.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09- You been running? - Boys, trespassing. Have you seen 'em?

0:02:09 > 0:02:13Now, let me think...

0:02:13 > 0:02:14No.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26William had a dog, Jumble, whom he loved,

0:02:26 > 0:02:30and a family whom he...tolerated.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32You know what I'm going to invent?

0:02:32 > 0:02:33An electric toast scraper.

0:02:33 > 0:02:38I think they got in ahead of you, with the electric toaster.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40Oh, yes.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Why are you dressed like that, Robert?

0:02:42 > 0:02:46He saw The Wild One and he wants to be Marlon Brando.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50- You're as wild as a plate of scones. - Never trust a man called Marlon.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53New people have moved into Croombe Hall.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yes, the Bott family.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Never trust a man who makes his money from sauce,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00- that's what I always say. - You've never.

0:03:00 > 0:03:01Well, I'm saying it now.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05We're not having his idiotic sauce in the house.

0:03:06 > 0:03:09- William, elbows off the table. - Elbows off the table, dear.

0:03:11 > 0:03:16- More admirers, darling?- Mm...

0:03:16 > 0:03:18- Anyone we know?- No!

0:03:25 > 0:03:27SHE SIGHS

0:03:28 > 0:03:31Eat your chipolatas, Violet Elizabeth.

0:03:36 > 0:03:40So...that's where babies come from!

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Any questions? No, good, let's do some arithmetic.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46Sir...

0:03:46 > 0:03:48I didn't understand that.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51What have seeds got to do with it? Bees don't have seeds.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Well, in fact...- Birds do, though, if you fill up the bird feeder.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Not unless the squirrels get there first.- Oh, I hate squirrels!

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Boys!

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Mr Attwater is trying to speak. Listen to the teacher!

0:04:05 > 0:04:10Yes, thank you, Dalrymple. Fine, I'll go over the reproductive

0:04:10 > 0:04:14system again tomorrow, but with closer reference to human beings.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17We're not interested in girls, Sir. We'd rather not hear about them.

0:04:17 > 0:04:22- Nonetheless, they do exist.- They're different from us.- Yes, they are.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26- They can be really annoying. - Well, so can you.

0:04:26 > 0:04:31No, really, really annoying. My sister trod on my Spitfire model.

0:04:31 > 0:04:32All I'd done was broken her bed.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Isn't life wonderful, hmm?

0:04:40 > 0:04:45# Isn't it fun to be under the sun and sky?.. #

0:05:07 > 0:05:10# When the barometer's high

0:05:10 > 0:05:15# It's a bright, beautiful... # Stop the car!

0:05:17 > 0:05:20No need to kill me, dearie, I just wanted to say hello!

0:05:22 > 0:05:27Hello! I'm Mrs Bott, we have just moved into Croombe Hall.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Pleased to meet you. Mrs Brown.- Oh!

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Would you like an helpful lift to the shops?

0:05:34 > 0:05:37That's most kind, but I'm happy to walk.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Oh, come on, everybody likes a lift.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41- No, really, fresh air is...- Come on!

0:05:41 > 0:05:43- You're very kind, but... - Just get in the car!

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Yes, it's not easy, living with my Botty.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Your botty? - My husband, Mr Bott, poor love.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02He struggles with his weight. And his personality.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Even with you to show him the way? - Yes!

0:06:05 > 0:06:09I sometimes put him in a corset, if we're going somewhere special. Oh!

0:06:09 > 0:06:14- There he is, look! - It certainly catches the eye.- Yes.

0:06:14 > 0:06:18We do hear of some drivers who see it and swerve off the road.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Do you have any family? - Yes, three children.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Ooh! Do you have anyone who could play with my six-year-old daughter?

0:06:24 > 0:06:27- No.- How old is your youngest?

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- William is eleven.- Oh, that'll do!

0:06:29 > 0:06:31Bring him over for tea!

0:06:31 > 0:06:35I want Violet Elizabeth to meet some nice children.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40Oh, come on, dearie, bring the little boysie over.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44Mine's just a girlie, she can't do any 'arm.

0:06:44 > 0:06:45Harm.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50Why me?! Why do I have to go to tea with some girl?

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Because she's expecting you.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Bad enough that horrible family won't let us go play in the woods.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57We've always played in the woods.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00That girl had better not expect me to talk to her.

0:07:00 > 0:07:04- She'll expect you to play with her, I'm sure.- Play with a girl? Me?

0:07:04 > 0:07:06Ow!

0:07:23 > 0:07:24KNOCKING

0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Good afternoon, Mrs Bott.- Afternoon.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Where's your dear little boysie - Oh, has he escaped?

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Ow!

0:07:39 > 0:07:42Didn't think of him quite like that, but I'm sure he's sweet.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47Would the dear little boysie like to look at a picture book?

0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm sure my daughter will cheer him up.

0:07:50 > 0:07:51KNOCKING

0:07:51 > 0:07:53Oh! Here she is!

0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Good afternoon.- Afternoon.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Take the little boysie out into the garden,

0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Violet Elizabeth, and play with him nicely.- Come along...boy.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- What's your name?- William Brown.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'm Violet Elithabeth.

0:08:19 > 0:08:20Silly name for a silly girl.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Now, you muth play with me. - I don't play little girls' games.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Don't you like little girlth?

0:08:30 > 0:08:33I don't know anything about 'em. Don't want to.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36I like you. Don't you like me?

0:08:37 > 0:08:39You do like me, don't you?

0:08:41 > 0:08:45You're making me cwy! Yes, you are.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49You're making me cwy, cos you won't say you like me!

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Don't cry. I do like you...

0:08:53 > 0:08:56- ..honest.- I'm tho glad.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00You like all little girlth, don't you?

0:09:00 > 0:09:04You do like all little girlth, don't you?!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yes! I do. I do!

0:09:07 > 0:09:13You with you wath a little girl, don't you?

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Er... Yes, I do.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Kith me.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Thath's not a kith. - It's my kind of kiss.

0:09:26 > 0:09:31All right. Now leth play fairieth. I'll thow you how.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Now it's your turn!

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Botty's done very well in business. - Hasn't he just?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's not hard to make money, not if you work hard.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Have you tried Botts' Sauce?- No.

0:09:47 > 0:09:49It's a good sauce, isn't it?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Goes well with everything. Lovely deep brown.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57Did he fight in the war at all, or was he busy making sauce?

0:09:57 > 0:09:59I'll give you some to take home.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Oh, look, they're playing beautifully.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06Well, that's not something you see every day.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09Faster! Faster! Faster!

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Looks like Violet Elizabeth's in charge!

0:10:11 > 0:10:16Yes, I just hope William doesn't snap and throw her into the lake.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- Has he done that sort of thing before?- Yes, he has.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Huwwy up!

0:10:26 > 0:10:32Mrs Brown had always hoped that girls would have a civilising influence on her son,

0:10:32 > 0:10:39but an afternoon spent being a servant gnome in Violet Elizabeth's court had had the opposite effect.

0:10:39 > 0:10:43It was the nearest William had ever come to despair.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46If all girls are like that...

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Well...

0:10:48 > 0:10:52When you think of the hundreds of girls there must be in the world,

0:10:52 > 0:10:54it makes you feel sick.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05So, I hope that makes it all a bit clearer.

0:11:07 > 0:11:08Any questions?

0:11:10 > 0:11:14- No? Good. On to arithmetic.- Sir...

0:11:14 > 0:11:18I think all girls and women should live on an island, away from us.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Do you?

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yes, I do.

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Because, we just don't seem to get along.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Well, you won't always feel that way.- I will.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Well, you won't.

0:11:30 > 0:11:31I will.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- No, you won't.- I will.

0:11:33 > 0:11:41Our society is founded on a man and a woman wanting to...

0:11:41 > 0:11:43be together.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51Gotta go. They want me at home all weekend. There's an aunt coming.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Why are there so many aunts?- Dunno.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Let's go back to the woods tomorrow.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Yeah, Bob said he'd show us how to make hats out of rhubarb leaves.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04No, let's not go back there.

0:12:04 > 0:12:05Why not?

0:12:07 > 0:12:10Cos those horrible new gamekeepers said they'd tell our fathers

0:12:10 > 0:12:12if they caught us.

0:12:12 > 0:12:14Are you William or suddenly someone else?

0:12:14 > 0:12:17THEY CLUCK CLUCK CHICKENS

0:12:23 > 0:12:27William decided to investigate the alarming theory

0:12:27 > 0:12:30that men and women wanted to be together.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35For all his strongly-held views, William had an enquiring mind

0:12:35 > 0:12:37and liked to get to the bottom of things.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41His dog Jumble felt the same.

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Hello, Gemima?

0:12:44 > 0:12:46It's Robert.

0:12:48 > 0:12:50No, er... Robert Brown.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- We met at the tennis club. - I'm a bush.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57William realised that it was true.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Everywhere you looked, men and women were paired up - or trying to be.

0:13:01 > 0:13:05The question remained - why?

0:13:05 > 0:13:10We did talk for about half an hour and I laughed a lot at your jokes.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12Give up, Robert.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16At least brothers and sisters could be relied upon not to get on.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19I was wearing a blue cravat.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22But you wouldn't recognise me now, because...

0:13:22 > 0:13:23I'm in a biker gang.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28No, not bicycles...

0:13:28 > 0:13:30Stupid sauce.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33We can't just throw it away.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37I'm running low on three-quarter inch flat-headed brass screws.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Oh, you hopeless romantic(!)

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- What's for dinner? - Er, toad in the hole.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Your latest two admirers, dear?- Hmm.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53I can't see it working, neither of them has a car.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Secretarial course going well?

0:13:55 > 0:13:59Yes, I can type five words a minute.

0:13:59 > 0:14:00That doesn't seem very many.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02Wash your hands, please, William.

0:14:02 > 0:14:07And remove your foliage... Now!

0:14:15 > 0:14:17What about your sister, is she available?

0:14:17 > 0:14:19Aahh!

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Har!- Ha-har!- Ha-har!

0:14:23 > 0:14:24- Ha-har!- Ha-har!

0:14:31 > 0:14:35Oh, William, darling, play with me again. It wath tho nith on Thurthday.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Go away.- We don't like girls.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40William doth. He thaid he did.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41He thaid he liked all little girlth.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- He thaid he withed he wath a little girl.- No, I didn't.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Did he say anything else?

0:14:47 > 0:14:50Yeth, and he kithed me and played fairieth with me.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- No, I didn't.- Oh, you did!

0:14:53 > 0:14:56Come on, we can't stop here all day talking to a girl.

0:14:56 > 0:14:58But I want to come with you.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01We're going to play boys' games. You wouldn't like it.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04I like boyth gameth. Pleath let me come.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06All right.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08We can't stop you coming.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Wait for me!

0:15:23 > 0:15:27- How's the search for a college coming along?- Not good. I need to get out.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30- I need to go someplace. - Do you, dear?

0:15:30 > 0:15:32If you pass the shop, could you buy a loaf?

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- No, I mean, I need to escape. - I know, darling.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Well, if you really want to, I can't stop you.- No.

0:15:40 > 0:15:46- I'm probably going to buy a big motorbike and be in a gang.- Right.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50Maybe you should borrow Mr Nutley's motorbike next door

0:15:50 > 0:15:52and see if you like it first?

0:15:52 > 0:15:58- Remind me what you're rebelling against, Robert?- Whatcha got?

0:16:05 > 0:16:09Tread careful or instant death will be your fate. Ha-har!

0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Ha-har!- Ha-har!

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Ignore her, she'll have had enough any minute.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56I'm going out to find her. Botty, ring the police again!

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Everyone stop shouting!

0:20:59 > 0:21:02We could go looking for your daughter, if you like...

0:21:03 > 0:21:05..if she's who's lost.

0:21:08 > 0:21:09If she IS lost.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16Yes, thank you, thank you.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19Look in the woods, around the village, everywhere.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21If you find her, I'll let you off.

0:21:26 > 0:21:34Anyone seen a little girl?! Hello? Violet Elizabeth!

0:21:55 > 0:21:57But first, we need to tidy you up a bit.

0:22:56 > 0:22:58She's been in a bog!

0:22:58 > 0:23:01I don't know what you do to her to make her look normal,

0:23:01 > 0:23:03but can you do it before her mother gets home?

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Right, well, we'll just...- Stay!

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Is something the matter?

0:23:40 > 0:23:43My little girlie-wirlie's gone missing!

0:23:43 > 0:23:45Your what?

0:23:45 > 0:23:48My Violet Elizabeth.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56Oh, I hope you're right.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58It's a safe village. Nothing happens here.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01MOTORBIKE BACKFIRES

0:24:01 > 0:24:03There, there.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04You've met William. He's always out.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07- We don't see him from one day to the next.- We like that.

0:24:09 > 0:24:10Lovely, though he is.

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Thank you for trying to cheer me up.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Do I look like a panda?

0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Yes.- Not at all.

0:24:21 > 0:24:25It's our favourite of all the bears.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27You're very sweet.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31Have a couple of bottles on me.

0:24:33 > 0:24:39- How delightful. - Ooh, have another one.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41It goes well with everything!

0:25:03 > 0:25:05How did that go?

0:25:07 > 0:25:08Good.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Hello, boyth.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Yes, that's better!

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Has she been found?- Good afternoon.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23Oh! Oh, my child!

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Oh, my darling child!

0:25:27 > 0:25:29I wath a thquaw.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31It dothn't make any thort of noith.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- It'th a lady.- How did you...?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36These boys found her.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41Oh, how kind!

0:25:43 > 0:25:47Oh, you're that nice boy who played with her so nicely the other day.

0:25:47 > 0:25:53- Might be.- I've just seen your Mumsie and Dadsie!- Who?

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Give them ten shillings each, Botty.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Well, in fact I'm not sure they deserve...

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Don't you value your own daughter's life at even 30 shillings?

0:26:14 > 0:26:18And we want to be able to play in the woods, like we always have.

0:26:23 > 0:26:24Of course.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30Well, it turned out all right, I suppose.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36But I'm never going to have anything to do with any old girl ever again.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39It's all very well saying that. But it's them what has to do with you.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43And I'm never going to marry any old girl!

0:26:43 > 0:26:46It's all very well saying that, but some girl will probably marry you.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54What are your brothers doing outside my house?

0:26:54 > 0:26:55- Dunno.- No idea.

0:26:59 > 0:27:05William was a positive boy, who held strong views on almost everything,

0:27:05 > 0:27:08from the correct way to eat a whole plate of cakes,

0:27:08 > 0:27:09to how to make a noise like a cow.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15But some things were, and would remain, a mystery to him.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19All William knew was, there were lots of better things

0:27:19 > 0:27:22to do out there. He had the whole of his childhood to do them...

0:27:24 > 0:27:27..and none of them involved girls.
