[Neil Jones]

There was an adaptation of “Johnny and the Bomb”, a Terry Pratchett novel in that slot c. 2006, but it didn’t seem to rate well there. Only reason I remember it was we’d read the book in Yr 8 English the previous term and our teacher was annoyed we’d missed it being on live. We ended up watching the taped (Christ that makes me sound old!) at the end of the year as wind down lessons

That's a trilogy apparently in the books, the Bomb being the last one. There were two others in the series.

The TV adaption only lasted three episodes and according to Genome went out at either 5:35pm or 4:10pm on a Sunday afternoon. It was then relegated to a few repeat showings on CBBC and hasn't been seen since.

Apparently ITV made a TV adaptation of the second book in 1995.

With regards to Just William, they've made a few of those over the years, but I think Brekkie's referring to the the 1994 adapation of Just William which IIRC went out also on a Sunday.

Otherwise a newer version of Just William It went out at lunchtime Christmas 2010 and had Daniel Roche in it as the lead character (Roche being best known at the time for appearing in Outnumbered)
