Classic Serial: Basil

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

1/2. After little more than a glimpse on an omnibus, Basil falls in love with Margaret, daughter of a nouveau riche tradesman. Although she's of a different class, Basil plots to marry her in secret, hoping that he will reconcile his father to the match. But little goes as planned. One of Wilkie Collins 's lesser-known but nonetheless enthralling novels, in an adaptation by Robin Brooks.
Producer Clive Brill Repeated from Sunday
