I'm not asking for myself by the way. Would it be possible to run BASIC and create programmes in Ubuntu? A quick Google suggests WINE would be necessary. Thoughts? (Other than 'Why would you?')

Brandy BASIC?
http://jaguar.orpheusweb.co.uk/branpage.html
Derived from Acorn's BASIC V that was developed for RISC OS. Has roots back to the BBC Micro ...

I have successfully used freebasic on ubuntu.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/fbc/
It may not be the best but it worked without the need for WINE or any other such pre-requisites.
I originally used it under windoze xp (about 10 years ago) and was able to migrate the programs written there to linux with very little difficulty.

Here's two BASIC programs that I always meant to have a closer look at but never did! One is open source, the other a commercial product.
1. Gambas http://gambas.sourceforge.net/en/main.html
2. Basic for Qt (previously called KBasic) http://www.q7basic.org/
Gambas would appear to run on a number of platforms, but not Windows at the moment. Basic for Qt does.
Rgds,
