Basil Brush (HB) by Brush Basil

The revealing memoirs of television's most-loved entertainer For the first time, showbiz personality Basil Brush tells the true story of his rise to fame and his struggle to survive in the heartless world of television. He talks about his poor but happy childhood, his early success in Variety, and the television work that was to change his life. It was the Swinging Sixties, and Basil describes the parties he attended, rubbing shoulders with stars like Michael Caine - and how his heart was broken by a woman who left him for a Rolling Stone, and again when he lost The Generation Game to Bruce Forsyth. After finding success with a number of comic partnerships - Mr Rodney, Mr Derek, Mr Roy, Mr Howard and Mr Billy - Basil decided to go it alone and head for America. He talks frankly about his Las Vegas years and how, on returning to Britain, he made a living doing panto and summer season - until his triumphant return in the sitcom Foxed made him a household name once again. Written with his characteristic humour, Basil Brush - My Story is a fitting tribute to a television legend.
