A bunch of different straight men:
Throughout the show's 12-year run Basil was always accompanied by a straight man, initially Rodney Bewes — aka Mr Rodney — better known as one half of The Likely Lads.
Bewes was replaced by Mr Derek — Derek Fowlds of Yes Minister fame — who was the stooge for Basil's quips between 1969 and 1973. The subsequent presenters were Mr Roy (Roy North, 1973-1977), Mr Howard (Howard Williams, 1977-1979), and Mr Billy (Billy Boyle, 1979-1980).
I got that from Wikipedia but I remember loving Basil for a while - Boom boom!...
