TV series & musical

The novel was also used as the basis for a television sitcom series of the 1970s starring Jeff Rawle, but it has never been rerun. A successful West End musical (entitled simply Billy) starred Michael Crawford and, in her West End debut, Elaine Paige. The music was by well-known British sitcom writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, where music and lyrics were by film composer John Barry and Don Black respectively.
