Wonderful. The man behind, (or rather underneath!) Basil was Ivan Owen who voiced and operated the fox from the sixties to the end of the original show's run. He sadly died in 2000. A true legend.
@soundzok And even now, no-one knows what he looked like. His family and friends told him he had a very loud booming and infectious laugh and he made it Basil's trademark.

Agreed - the new incarnation of BB isn't a patch on the delightfully camp original.
