Go with them now on a journey through time and space. A thrilling adventure, much unlike anything else known on television today. Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding make the perfect unlikely pairing as they star in The Mighty Boosh. With Mike Fielding, Dave Brown and Rich Fulcher also starring in most episodes, particularly series 2, the journey is a thoroughly enjoyable one as Howard Moon and Vince Noir find themselves in all sorts of weird and wonderful situations, often needing Naboo the Enigma and Bollo, Naboo's familiar to get them out of trouble.
Series 1 is set in Bob Fossil's Zooniverse, where Howard and Vince work. Mrs Gideon, the object of Howard's affection features in these episodes, and in the first episode, Killeroo, Bob Fossil makes Howard fight the deadly kangaroo, which he refuses to do until Vince convinces him that it will make Mrs Gideon fall for him. Howard the Jazz Maverick and Vince King of the Mods go through many different experiences in the Zoo, and this does not chnage in series 2. In series 2, the Zooniverse is no more and Howard, Vince, Naboo and Bollo now live together in a flat in Dalston where many more adventures happen and Howard and Vince also end up getting Naboo's powers as a Shaman revoked. In series 2 there is no consistent Bob Fossil character, however Rich Fulcher does appear in every episode under many different guises - another genius part of The Mighty Boosh - a whole two series underway with fourteen different adventures using only five main actors. The Moon also makes many appearances in series 2 - a simpleton as Noel Fielding describes him.
The extras are also not to be missed, especially 'Inside the Zooniverse' of series 1 - an inside guide to the making of the Boosh. Series 2 offers insight into the Boosh publicity, showing just how popular the show is (Borders signing) and how laid back the stras of the show are.
Of the two, I personally think that series 2 is slightly better, despite it being filmed on a smaller budget - simply because Naboo and Bollo make more appearances and the bond between the characters is more visible, making the whole thing even more enjoyable. I also enjoyed series 2 more because there are more settings for the adventures, allowing each one to be even more diverse than in the first series.
I bought the series on Amazon for £9.98, a very good price for such an amazing show. It took around 3 days to be delivered and came in perfect condition when it did arrive.
I would highly recommend this product to others if they want a 30 minute break from everyday life. It is the perfect way to take your mind away from everything and just leave everything for half an hour.
