Crossovers

Basil Brush's appearance in TV Comic's Counter Game.

Aside from cover art, Basil Brush crossed over with the Doctor Who universe twice within TV Comic's pages.

The first crossover occurred in the game TV Comic's Counter Game, published in the TV Comic Holiday Special 1968. This featured the Diddymen (from the series of the same name) travelling around the board on a hike. Early in the game, the Diddymen can go hunting with Basil Brush. Later in the game, they can stop to listen to Dr. Who playing his recorder.

"Tardis" in Basil Brush goes Rent Collecting.

A more significant crossover would occur the following year in the TV Comic Holiday Special 1969, which featured the game Basil Brush goes Rent Collecting. This, as the title implies, featured Basil Brush going rent collecting, with him collecting rent from the various characters featured in TV Comic at the time. As the final obstacle of the game, he may encounter "Tardis", requiring him to travel back 8 spaces.
