MEET A NEW DURRELL
Balamory and Rev star Miles Jupp on playing Louisa’s cousin Basil…
how would you describe basil?
he’s a slightly blundering fool, a fish out of water in any environment apart from with other men exactly like him. he’s pretty nervous in louisa’s company. he was
great fun to play.
he ends up in London with Louisa and Larry…
yes it’s hysterical when he meets the Bloomsbury set – this is not the kind of life that Basil leads! his appearance roots the episode
in a time, place and attitude.
Did you meet any animals?
yes, i met Frank the sloth, even though we’re not in the same episode! he’s a delightful animal, although his claws are intimidating!
