Basil Brush is a fictional anthropomorphic fox, best known for his appearances on daytime British children's television. He is primarily portrayed by a glove puppet, but has also been depicted in animated cartoon shorts and comic strips. The character has featured on children's (and later adult) television from the 1960s to the present day. A mischievous character and a raconteur, Basil Brush is best known for his catchphrase 'Ha Ha Ha! Boom! Boom!', used after something he finds something funny, and also for speaking in a 'posh' accent and manner, referring to himself as a 'fella'. The character claims to dislike puppets, and says his most prized possession is his 'brush', this being the traditional name for a fox's tail.
