First of four programmes. Gas Street Basin
Roger McGough begins his intrepid voyage up the Black Country Canal at Gas Street Basin - an oasis in the very heart of Birmingham. If you walk off one of the main streets, through an archway in the wall. you find the secret world of the canal system, with Its narrowboats and houseboats, day-trippers and canal people. The poet absorbs the atmosphere, talks to the locals and prepares for his journey.
