ynopsis
When William's Mum bought him a new pair of boots he discovered a note inside: "These are Wish Wellingtons, put them on and make a wish. William could now wish himself anywhere in the world or ask for anything he wanted - which sometimes got him into a spot of bother.
The series was comprised of 26 (5-minute) episodes - 13 in 1994 and a further 13 in 1996.
Directed by Graham Ralph, and Animation by Mark Mason.
The first series was made available on a BBC video entitled "William and Barksure" (BBCV 5666) and the second series on another BBC video entitled "William Hood" (BBCV 5904), but because of the "old" BBC logo's presence on them these are both now out of print. But plans to release the series on BBC DVD
