Come With Us Now, On A Journey Through Time And Space...

I thought I'd make that topic here, too. That way I never have to go back to the Official Message Board.

For those that don't know, The Mighty Boosh is a British cult comedy which has taken on several incarnations as a series of stage shows, a BBC radio series and a sitcom. The Mighty Boosh was created by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding who star as Howard Moon and Vince Noir.

The first television series the action was based around a zoo called Bob Fossil's Funworld ("Where fun, plus world, equals... Worldfun") and later The Zooniverse. Though the episodes would invariably begin and end in the zoo, the action would often leave the zoo for more bizarre realms. The second series had an even looser setting, based in a flat in Dalston. Fielding and Barratt are currently working on a third series.

Characters

Howard Moon (Julian Barratt): Self proclaimed "Jazz Maverick" and would-be novelist, musician, photographer, explorer, poet, athlete, porpoise jockey and fisherman. Moon is disrespected and insulted by every other major character to appear in the show, though Vince shows a level of affection towards him. His love of jazz and literature appears to exemplify an intellectual being. However, he is unable to show much of this intelligence, and is instead always reminded of his failures. Howard is described by Vince as "quite generic-looking", like a "pink balloon". He also has "small eyes, sort of like a crab".

Vince Noir (Noel Fielding): Self proclaimed "King of the Mods" and "Goth Fairy" as well as fashion icon and would-be musician. He can talk to animals, earning him the nickname "Mowgli in flares". Vince is Howard's best friend though the two often argue. He appears to get by on his looks, charm and style alone and unlike Howard, is extremely popular. He can be innocent and childlike, and has a profound love for Gary Numan and Mick Jagger.

Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher): Brash and, it has been suggested, retarded, American manager of the Zooniverse in series one of the television show. He seems to like Vince, but intensely dislikes Howard. He is apparently attracted to Dixon Bainbridge, whom he wrongly considers a friend. He has limited knowledge of the animals and instead refers to them by characteristics, for example "the hairy Russian carpet guy" as a bear. Fossil and the zoo were written out of the show in the second series, but Fulcher goes on to play several roles in it, including the bingo caller in the episode Nanageddon, a fisherman in The Legend of Old Gregg and a sailor in The Nightmare of Milky Joe. The character of Bob Fossil does appear, however, in the ending to The Nightmare of Milky Joe as the presenter of the 'Pie-Face Showcase'.

Naboo the Enigma (Michael Fielding): A mystical and mysterious - yet very laid back - shaman. Originally worked in the zoo as a kiosk operator, but in the second series shares a flat with Howard, Vince and Bollo. More often than not, he rescues Howard and Vince from the dangerous situations they find themselves in. Naboo is played by Noel Fielding's brother Michael, who joined the cast by accident when he tagged along to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Bollo (Peter Elliott (series 1) Dave Brown (series 2)): The oldest ape in captivity. In the first series he is a resident of the zoo, first appearing in the episode Mutants posing as Caesar whilst Vince paints his portrait. In the second series he is Naboo's familiar and lives in the flat with Howard, Naboo and Vince. The facts of his long life are revealed: he has a regular DJ spot at a Roller Disco which raised his status to be able to play out at Fabric, once hosted a chat show and killed his childhood friend, first cutting off his feet, then his head.

I watched the first 2 episodes earlier today and I absolutely loved it. I want to touch Noel's hair. I really do. It's the first thing I notice about a person, and I have no idea why. It made me laugh to find that he's serious about his hair. XD

Ahh, those are neat. But seeing as I'm in the USA, the pounds thing does me no good.
