Bash Helmet into the 21st Century

THE BASH is soon to hold its 13th successive convention and the number of people attending will be into the thousands. 

Previous special guest speakers have included Godfrey Pryce (who had to be secretly smuggled out of and back into Thailand), Rusty Clappe and, in 2003, the 84 year old Florrie Mendelson! 

This year it is hoped that Dale Montgomery will address the excited crowds. 

With such a renewed swell of interest in Bash Helmet, rumours are rife that Hollywood is gearing up to greenlight a big budget movie. 

Whether this happens or not, only time will tell. 

Ironically, the characters who replaced Bash in Tales to Excite all those years ago have already made the leap to the big-budget motion picture with 2004’s Squirt & Spurt in Vegas. 

“Look, Spurt, it’s Celine Dion! Oh, wait...no...it’s just a cuttlefish!”
A classic moment from ‘Squirt & Spurt in Vegas’.
But one thing is certain - there is no shortage of producers, screenwriters, directors and actors who were touched by Bash Helmet at some point in their lives. 

And whoever gets the job of portraying the hero on the silver screen should feel honoured to be handling such a plum role!
