Boom! Boom! Time for Basil Brush

There always was one show on at the Weekends as a child I loved watching that no matter who was with him, I'd be in stitches.

Basil Brush lives on in today's world as it did back in the mid 1970's with Roy North hearing Basil's Conkers joke and Roy himself too over from Mr. Derek who was on from 1970 to 1973 although we didn't have colour until until after 1975.
Basil always gets reinvented in the way Sooty and Sweep do, very much British Institutions.

That is an original Wendy Boston Basil brush which as it happens I still own from the 1970's rather than the latest 2000's series made in Abergavenny, South Wales and is quite collectible

Corgi cars were a big thing as a 8 to 10 year old back then although I no longer have mine.

Basil Brush had a few records out of which this one dates from 1970 in the Mr Derek era with some of songs written by George Martin based on traditional tunes and themes like Basil de Farmer set in the time of the Norman Conquest.

This was a later one, from November 1977 actually that had his First day at School  and monologues about being at camp featured.

I still have these records and love to play them.
