Basil Brush is a multimedia series focusing on the character of the same name, who first appeared in The Three Scampies, and went on to appear in, among other things, The Basil Brush Show and a comic strip simply titled Basil Brush, published in TV Comic. The comic series began in TV Comic #852, which also printed a Doctor Who comic.
Crossovers
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.
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.
The following year, the TV Comic Holiday Special 1970 was released, printing the game TV Terrors Autograph Hunt [+]Loading...["TV Terrors Autograph Hunt (game)"], which featured the TV Terrors (from TV Terrors) hunting for autographs from characters featured in various other TV Comic strips. Midway through, Basil Brush may show them around his estate. Later, they may receive Dr. Who's autograph.
References to Basil Brush in the DWU
The Horrors of Arcbeatle short story The Cactus and the Corpse [+]Loading...["The Cactus and the Corpse (short story)"] features the Bookwyrm claiming that one would be incorrect in believing the Basil Brush Annual 1976 to be fiction.

Other connections
- A 1975 sketch from The Basil Brush Show featured a "Mark I" Robot Yeti prop from The Abominable Snowmen, though in this instance it was used to represent an actual Yeti rather than a robotic counterpart.
