A BBC3 comedy that never managed to rise above its obscure home, The Mighty Boosh is about three steps behind its intentions.
Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) are zoo workers with the proverbial strange bunch of colleagues.
Boosh occasionally takes a nice line in stupidity ("my uncle once punched a man so hard his legs turned into trombones") but mostly it struggles under its expectation to be surreal.
Barratt has modelled his style on Simon Pegg, which is fine, but Fielding's Vince is
little more than a supporting role with far too many lines.
Boosh is an odd watch but not as odd as it thinks it is -Lyndon Hogg
