A portrait of the late Basil Vacuum
Compiled and realised by JOHN WELLS and RICHARD INGRAMS
Produced by DOUGLAS CLEVERDON
'If Basil had not existed, we should all have been spared a great deal of embarrassment.' So wrote Arthur Tremble, one of those not contributing to this posthumous symposium.
The materials for this programme were assembled by the two malevolent Greek Street hacks who have devoted the best years of their ill-spent youth to Mrs. Wilson's Diary.
