The Basil Brush Show is a CBBC series involving a fox puppet and his human companions. Originally running from 1968 to 1980 on BBC1, either during Children's Hour or the Saturday early evening slot, it has a tendency toward Breaking the Fourth Wall and using Double Entendre to appeal to adult (presumably parental) viewers as well as children. The BBC cancelled the show before picking it up again in 2002, complete with a Spin-Off, Basil's Swap Shop.Basil Brush was designed by Bagpuss co-creator Peter Firmin and voiced by puppeteer Ivan Owen (who studiously avoided seeking any publicity for the role, feeling it made Basil more believable if no-one knew the identity of his "controller") until his death in 2000. The character first appeared in 1962 in a series called The Three Scampies about out-of-work circus performers, and was later paired with magician David Nixon for such series as Nixon at Nine-Five and The Nixon Line, where his comic antics proved such a hit with viewers that he was spun off into his own series.In the 1968-80 incarnation of The Basil Brush Show, Basil had a series of human co-stars/comedy stooges, always addressed by Basil as "Mr. [actor's first name]"; in order, they included former Likely Lad Rodney Bewes, a pre-Yes, Minister Derek Fowlds, actor/singer Roy North, Three Scampies alumnus Howard Williams, and Billy Boyle. The episodes opened with a joke-filled introduction by Basil and his co-star, followed by a comedy sketch (which often included topical jokes), a musical number (often performed by a guest star, sometimes as a straight performance and sometimes as a comic duet with Basil), and finally a serial story about a famous relative of Basil's (such as spacefarer Blast-Off Basil or Robin Hood parody Basil the Farmer, Knight in Shining Armour) which would be frequently interrupted by jokes and asides from the fox himself. At the height of the series' popularity in the 1970s, actors and singers were queueing up for the chance to be the butt of Basil's humour for an episode.Although Basil continued to appear on television sporadically across the 1980s and 1990s, it was not until 2002 that The Basil Brush Show was revived, with Christopher Pizzey as Basil's new comic foil, Mr Stephen, and child actors Georgina Leonidas and Michael Hayes as friends of Basil and Stephen's (as with Ivan Owen, the identity of Basil's voice actor/puppeteer remains a closely guarded secret). Other characters included Basil's hyperactive nephew Bingo, his criminal cousin Mortimer, latter-day hippie Madison, and Lethal Chef Anil. The revived series followed a more straightforward sitcom format with animated inserts and ran until 2007. Basil continues to make sporadic theatre and television appearances to this day. | |

Animal Superheroes: One episode, “The Incapables”, has Basil and Bingo try to be superheroes(The Flying Phantom and Derek, respectively) in order to deal with a crimewave. Unfortunately, they tend to spend more time trying to outdo Stephen and Dave, who took up the mantles of Mighty Muscle and Wide Boy. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Ivan Owen based Basil's voice on Terry-Thomas, giving the character a touch of well-cultivated class. Owen worked with Thomas on Stars in Battledress and also lifted his "penchant for bad, self-satisfied, golf-club-bore jokes". | |

No Fourth Wall: The 2002 series turns Breaking the Fourth Wall up to eleven. Characters frequently acknowledge that they're on a studio set, reading through the script, talking to the voice-over man, cutaways to the writer's room, and in several episodes, the camera crew gets involved in the action. | |

The Pete Best: An Inverted In-Universe example in "Fox Rocks". Basil, Liam, Lucy and Madison form a rock band with Basil as the main singer, but Basil's singing doesn’t fit the genre. He’s replaced by Mortimer, whose gravelly vocals suit the band much more. Unfortunately, Mortimer becomes a prima donna, making outlandish demands and scandalously getting addicted to fruit juice. Meanwhile, Basil has been busking outside Anil's Cafe, and his huskier voice as a result allows him to return to the band. | |

Double Standard: Steven is always punished for giving women unwanted attention and is ridiculed in turn whenever he's harassed by less attractive women. In one episode, Steven was basically made a sex slave to an ugly woman (they didn't say it outright, a visual pun was made when his stalker locked him in a shed and made him act like a dog). | |
