Bill the Minder

Bill the Minder is a book and television series that tells of the adventures of a 15-year-old boy and his cousins Boadicea and Chad. In the process of their adventures they meet many strange people and help solve their unique problems with the use of fantastic machines which Bill is capable of crafting in a short time.

The original book was written and illustrated by W. Heath Robinson and published in 1912. The televised series contains a large number of the fantastic machines that Robinson is famed for. The short series was produced at Bevanfield Films for ITV Central and shown on ITV. All 15 episodes were released on one VHS tape by Channel 5 Video.

Bill the Minder was awarded at the London Film Festival in 1986 for "Outstanding Film of the Year".

After the brief title sequence with title music the narrator introduces the characters (the same way each episode except for the first), and his introduction goes like this:

At the end of the episode the same basic title page is displayed but with more credits and the same title music is played. The theme music is the "Triumphal March" from Verdi's opera Aida.
