The programme follows Basil Brush when he moves into his friend Mr Stephen's flat, as he looks after his niece and nephew while their parents are away. However, this is only clear in the first series, as the show seems to lose it's original concept and changes over the years. The show also seems to be about the characters presenting a show, as in the first episode the director walks up into the show and says that he is leaving, etc.
