I’m just going to say it: Basil Brush is brilliant. Funny, fast-paced, clever and cheeky. The canned laughter is weirdly appropriate, the funny sound and video effects make the thing seem really contemporary, and the super-ironic scripts respect the parents watching. Basil, a very small fox as I’m sure you’ll remember, has been integrated into his otherwise entirely human community rather well (I mean nobody ever says “hold on. Isn’t that a very small fox?” or “how did the fox pay for that cappuccino?”). An excellent example of a kids’ serial keeping up with the times beautifully.
