The Mighty Boosh is a comedy act mainly consisting of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt. They play the characters Vince Noir and Howard moon. Starting as a live stage show the act was picked up by BBC radio airing on BBC London Live after their fourth live show “Autoboosh”, and later going on to make a TV show aired on BBC3.
I do not know much of the radio and live shows as I am not a hardcore boosh fan, but I am a big fan of the TV series. The first two series were the best programmes I have seen in a while, each episode is great and if you watch them all I am sure that you will want to introduce a friend to the boosh.
The first series of the TV show was set in a zoo where the episode started and finished, for the main part of the show they normally ended up somewhere totally different or stayed in the zoo. In the second series they were just situated in an apartment and the episodes went into the adventure more quickly.
Each series is as good as the other but in different ways, good throughout and worth a look.
The third series is set to air this Thursday on BBC3 at 22:30 and the first episode is available to watch in its entirety on the BBC website already. I watched the episode tonight and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
So yes, I just wrote this article to try to introduce some new people to the boosh because I am truly thankful to Peter for lending me the DVD’s and I hope to make somebody as happy as Peter has made me. So be sure to watch it on Thursday and if you like consider watching some of their earlier work.
