Basil Brush

Basil Brush was a fictional puppet character in the 20th and 21st century.

When the Eighth Doctor was brought into an alternate universe where he had his own TV show, Basil was one of the brain-washed minions of Beep the Meep. The real Doctor and he, along with countless other 1970's TV personalities, were saved by Tom Baker. (DWM: TV Action!)
