White gloved hands and black sleeves of Wilson the Butler with Edd the Duck

Wilson the Butler was a regular character from the "The Broom Cupboard" - the in-vision continuity which appeared in between shows on Children's BBC in the late 1980's.

The programme was hosted by Andy Crane and, later, Andi Peters. Crane's sidekick was Edd the Duck, but the pair were soon joined by Wilson. Wilson only ever appeared as a pair of arms dressed in black sleeves and white gloves. The remainder of the actor constantly remained off-screen. Much of the humour resided with butler and duck fighting with each other.
