He was the fourth to go home.

Circus Brothers – Two human brothers named Basil and Cyril who are main antagonists of the series and the leaders of the circus with the mistreated animals. They chase Blinky around the world to catch him and his friends. They believe Blinky will be the star who'll make them rich after seeing him on the trapeze which he grabbed by accident. Basil is the ringmaster, who is overweight and has long black hair tied in a ponytail and a mustache. He wears a black top hat, a black coat, a white shirt, navy-coloured pants. Cyril is the clown who wears clown makeup (which he is seen without after the circus was stolen), blue dungarees, a white shirt, and has ginger-coloured hair.

In the final episode, however, Cyril reforms and assists the fire brigade in saving Greenpatch, before forcing his brother into retirement.
