This is the rehearsal script front page for The Basil Brush Show from 1975.
The rehearsals took place in a church hall in west London, whilst the recording would have taken place in Studio A at Pebble Mill. Basil Brush was a London production, hosted at Pebble Mill.
Thanks to sound supervisor, Roger Guest, for sharing the front page, and keeping it safe since 1975.
The following comments were left on the Pebble Mill Facebook page:
David Crozier: ‘I was that designer. Was it really forty years ago? Good grief.’
Peter Trevena: ‘I worked on this,great fun’
Susan Astle: ‘Really enjoyed working on this. Used to have breakfast on the train with design on the way to rehearsals in London. Charlie Bond on Bloody Mary’s and lovely Ian Fisher and Nigel Jones. ‘
Philip Morgan: ‘Through the kindness of Roger Nash I got a radio interview with “Basil”. I also sat in at one of the Saturday afternoon dress rehearsals in Studio A. As part of the banter the sidekick (Mr Derek?) asked Basil if he had any friends. “Of course I’ve got friends” replied Basil “I’ve got friends I haven’t even used yet!” That certainly drew a hearty laugh from the crew…’
