 Basil returns - Crankcase
I don't know whether it's depressing or not that I did actually find the corners of my mouth making a tiny - very tiny - upturn after viewing this.

Apparently the BBC said "nah" so it was straight to YouTube, with more to come.

It's not Mr Derek, though, is it.

You're thinking of Sooty. Not sure what he was up to, but I reckon Harry H Corbett had a hand in it.

Aaaarrrrghhhh,

Harry H Corbett was the actor who played 'arold, the son of Rag and Bone man Albert Steptoe.

Harry Corbett, Yorkshire electrical engineer and son of props of Guiseley's 'other' chippie who turned puppeteer was somebody else.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Corbett

Common mistake though.
