Ashley's catching up with Roy North who was the actor who became Basil Brush's sidekick in the early to mid 70s on The Basil Brush Show.  The show hosted by the wily old fox lasted from the late 60s til the early 80s and became a favourite of several generations of kids, parents and grandparents. Now Basil entertains the big kids often in theatres around the UK. Ever popular, most people love a bit of Basil. Certainly he was a favourite of Ashley as a kid.
Sit back and enjoy this trip down memory lane as Roy tells us about his Basil days and beyond....and who knows Basil himself might just pop in.....Boom Boom.
