Basil Brush was a fictional puppet character in at least the 20th century. Ace listed the character's television programme among the favourites of her youth. (PROSE: No Future)
Professor X, fully aware of his status as a fictional character, said that he felt like he was "caught between Basil Brush and Bruce Forsyth." (PROSE: No Future)
When the Eighth Doctor was brought into a parallel universe in which his reality existed only as fiction on 12 October 1979, Basil was one of the brain-washed minions of Beep the Meep. The Doctor, Basil and countless other 1970s TV personalities were saved by the actor Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor. (COMIC: TV Action!)
