Lulu 1976 Basil Brush Show

[@richardmattocks]

Basil was so “quick” and risqué. So many levels to him. I watched him in the 70’s and loved him.

[@s.e.wagger3888]

Sorry, I beat you all. I'm 62 and still do the "Boom boom". Unfortunately, my grandkids have no idea where I got it from.

[@nicolepowell5470]

When I'm having a bad day at work i listen to basil on my lunch break. We had some great telly in the 70's and 80's

[@alancribb3817]

Basil is my go to lift depression , have you tried the Lp's .. pure magic

[@CarlB_1962]

Loved the chemistry between Basil and “Mr Roy” as a child, and appreciate it even more as an adult.

[@danieladams9950]

Loved Basil and Roy. Staples of a 70s childhood.

[@Eltonlaleham]

This Basil Brush is awesome and he beats the new Basil in billions of ways,.

[@maryhunter5768]

I simply loved Bazil Brush.. I use to collect soaps as a child and remember having 1 of them.. Also had the bubble bath potion in bottle form of Bazil.. Today, at the age of 50, 3 puzzles came into the second hand shop I work at so I bought them.. Purely for nostalgia lol..

[@raindrops21_9]

Basil Brush was my favourite. Also remember fondly Sooty and Sweep, Bill and Ben, Mary Mungo and Midge and the Magic Roundabout

[@kdee8166]

Love Basil Brush and the gorgeous Lulu of course.

[@downy8586]

You just can't forget that voice, sadly Basil has gone forever for us that remember him from back in the day....

[@Gannett2011]

I loved Basil Brush as a nipper in the 70s and 80s. He really was family entertainment, jokes for young and old. I grew up with the Mr Roy years, every Saturday evening. It was this or the Emu Broadcasting Company. I wish I could find it on KZbin, but my favourite Basil joke is he bought a new TV. It's got knobs on the front, a speaker on the side and an instalment behind! Boom Boom!

[@stevenpaulforrer9067]

I'm 50 years old and used to watch this show back in the 1970s Kool men

[@probro9898]

Basil Brush was always my hero! As was Dirty Gerty from Number Thirty!

[@kneeknocker1967]

I'm 52 and this still makes me laugh

[@AndyH66LA]

[@veganvocalist4782]

[@moziebear0794]

[@1groundfog]

Another 55 here...looks like a clinic for tasteful humor...Basil always funny

[@scottlang7271]

I love Basil's howling...and Lulu's reaction! :)

[@stnicholas54]

The Crown Court sketch was hilarious !

[@stephenreeds3672]

Comedy for all ages. Wonderful stuff.

[@Livinglifefullynow11]

I love Basil n his humour...I got a puppet for my birthday...my husband is very understanding.

[@Baetzea]

RIP 'Mr Derek'

[@ashleybevan7859]

This original basil brush, puts the new basil brush to shame!!

[@162sam]

Very very true. You cannot beat The Fantastic Derek Fowlds and Basil Brush!

[@philwilson4633]

So true

[@thisisbeautiful.4812]

So true

[@TheBrummie60]

Today's Basil sounds wimpish.

[@ThatoneguywhodoesstuffonYT]

I was 5 years old when this was aired. While I dont remember fully this episode, the fact that i remember Basil Brush and this type of entertainment makes me look at my 9 year old son and think what wholesome entertainment is he missing out on. Its Fortnight and other games this generation seem to hold onto too like me at 5 years old with Basil Brush. I guess this is the future memory's of the next generation???

[@moziebear0794]

Yeah, these will be your son's 'in my day'.

[@TorkG8]

I want to be a child again..everything was fuzzy wuzzy happy back then..this is actually making me tearful!!

[@Janjay62]

+TorkGirl8 I agree :(

[@guileniam]

Tell me abt it :( Still seeing how girls like you turned out, it aint all bad ;)

[@phil-bh5bu]

I'm 36 and I still love this show used to watch this as a kid it still makes me laugh

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

36? Tough paper round as a child huh?..

[@SleutherStrode]

You are not old enough to remember the original basil brush though

[@perthuser75]

So many childhood memories. I always used to lose at conkers.

[@andreedowns4561]

Best kids show ...ever !!!

[@benjaminclasper9355]

I Love basil so hilarious cuddly and soft.

[@jrgboy]

Basil's voice was based on the actor Terry-Thomas

[@moziebear0794]

So were the teeth by the look of it 🤣

[@spencerguillen7092]

Soooo funny..I just love his laff😂🇬🇧

[@marinaholmes4549]

I had a crush on the bloke. I loved this show. Very very funny.

[@nomadz3358]

No guilty your battleship! 😂 I haven’t seen this ,…since I was a kid still makes me laugh ..good times

[@doodah111]

Wonderful memories!

[@malcolmjawohowelll2892]

Roy North was excellent and interacted with basil perfectly...great fun warms and professionalism. Not easy to react convincingly to a glove puppet

[@richallenxbox1976]

The original Basil Brush shows were great but I love the more recent ones, mainly because I'm in love with the actresses who played Molly and Madison.

[@frankdel5115]

never seen this show before looks good. i grew up in the Us. Was this outsidse of the U.S. This show?

[@kevzee]

yes it was we had the best telly here in the UK unlike that yankie Rubbish

[@benjaminclasper9355]

Erwin ally I prefer the original basil brush because aswell he looks so much more cuddly and more funnier with comedy and the original show does actual sketches and with guest stars more too.

[@162sam]

Still makes me laugh! ♥️

[@andreedowns4561]

ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS 😅

[@willpurry]

Dalek operator John Scott Martin as the court usher.

[@kurtdenter1799]

5:33 best line ever!!!

[@paulmemmott7440]

He is so damn funny

[@aceyspud551]

I don't even care about Lulu, I'm here for Basil!

[@veganvocalist4782]

Ewrecked lol 😂 same

[@ndingo]

Ditto

[@stephenmartin2737]

The original and the best !!!!

[@yakacm]

I love Lulu's Glasgay accent, aye buts she's a gallus, gallus wee lassie, so she is. I live in Glasgow now and a lot of folk don't have time for her because of that posh English accent, I guess she was probably advised to do speak like that to get work, saying that Cilla kept her accent, sort of.

[@markoshea6833]

i liked it when he spits.

[@peterquinn7878]

The originator of Dad Jokes! Well, Basil and me, anyway...🦊 "DROP IT, YOU FOOL! YOU IDIOT!...TOO LATE!!!" 😹

[@ethanduckworth6634]

8:12 the only time basils mouth opened properly

[@michaelsinfield1665]

When the lady said boom boom basil should've said hey that's my catchphrase

[@raymondwilkinson5048]

The original Basil Brush was worked and voiced by Ivan Owen, who sadly died in 2000. The new Basil Brush is very poor, compared to the old cravat wearing puppet, which had character and a posher voice. The old Basil puppet's face did however look very bobbly, like it had been put in the washing machine too much. Great days !

[@directorpussinboots9673]

The voice was based as tribute to the late great Terry-Thomas, hence the gap between the teeth.

[@FlawedFabrications]

LOL they couldn't get away with putting these jokes on kid's TV nowadays.

[@georgejacob3162]

You want to check out the adult version of Rainbow! Here's some teasers... (Geoffrey) "Hello Rod, Jane and Freddie! We could hear you banging away out the back there!" (Zippy) "I've got a big red one!" (Bungle) "I play with myself all the time!"

[@veganvocalist4782]

Flawed yea the laughter Police our on our arse if we don’t keep in line with political correctness 😂

[@veganvocalist4782]

Flawed ..AND I still love Benny Hill too hahaha 😂

[@frankdel5115]

[@JohnSmith-el2nj]

Never understood what Basil Brush as a kid. Much too innocent. The affluence of inkerhol.

[@ndingo]

3:46

[@Brit-One]

I miss the days of good TV shows even back then the kids shows were fun now it's all rainbow flags and pronouns we should bring back classic basil brush and burn the damn rainbow flags!

[@trudilm3864]

His brush did not present that way with Cilla.

[@assassin1478]

It’s a shame Basil got caught up in Operation Yew Tree

[@gillblack2755]

That can't be 1976??

[@mauriceupton1474]

Ahhh bom bom

[@kimsherlock8969]

Brilliance 😊

[@kilgoretrout413]

A children’s entertainer who wasn’t a rampant pedophile - a rare thing indeed ❤
