Synopsis
Back home the children find that Old Crispin has become convinced that he is being pursued by an invisible nemesis named Bosworth. Bill constructs a machine which drives Bosworth to take sanctuary in Old Crispin's matchstick model of a cathedral. This sacrilege enrages Old Crispin so much he jumps on the model with both feet, disposing of the irksome Bosworth for good!

Production notes
Shown in the PBS anthology series, "Long Ago & Far Away" in 1990.
Originally a series of 15 5-minute episodes aired in 1985, Bill the Minder is a (loose) adaptation of William Heath Robinson's 1912 children's book. Heath Robinson was a British illustrator and cartoonist most remembered for his cartoons showing ingenious contraptions (where Americans refer to something as a 'Rube Goldberg' device the British will call it a 'Heath Robinson' one).
