Overview
The series is set in a colourful modern penthouse flat, which is jointly owned by Basil and his sidekick, Stephen (Christopher Pizzey). Living with them are Stephen's nephew and niece, Molly (Georgina Leonidas), and Dave (Michael Hayes). They are left under the care of Stephen so that that Molly & Dave's parents can go on a round the world trip.
Other characters include Anil (Ajay Chhabra), the owner of a greasy-spoon cafe under the name of 'Anil's', where the main characters would frequently be seen dining in. Ella (Tisha Martin), is Basil & Stephen's neighbour who loves to sing. She is later replaced by Maddison (Laura Evans), an American fashion designer.
As the show was re-vamped in later years, two other characters were introduced. Liam (Michael Byers) replaces Stephen as Basil's new sidekick, with Lucy (Madeline Castrey) debuting as Anil's niece.
