Basil Brush

Basil Brush was a reddish brown fox puppet who appeared in British children's (and later adult) television programmes from the 1960s to the present day. He was voiced by Ivan Owen. He is noted for his catchphrase Boom! Boom!

He was created in 1963 by Peter Frimin for The Three Scampys children's show. In 1970 he was given his own television series The Basil Brush Show. He made two albums (both with the same title): "Boom! Boom! It's Basil Brush" (1970) and "Boom! Boom! It's Basil Brush" (1977).
