The Basil Brush Show

Nice to see Basil Brush back on TV albeit in this slightly watered down fake sitcom for kids.

The character remains by and large the same and gets all the best lines but it's pure pantomime stuff really with kids probably being more entertained than their parents.

It does make a nice change from animated kids programmes like the dreaded Pokemon and the like but its just a shame the show couldn't be a little bit smarter and not speak down to kids so much. The human characters are all average and the less said about Basils relatives the better. It's like Scrappy Doo all over again.
