When is the mighty boosh on tv

Noel Fielding also designs many of the show's graphics and artwork. The TV series has many animated sequences, puppets and special effects. Barratt has said that he approached Noel Fielding with the idea of doing a show like The Goodies , as if it were a complete "world" rather than simply a sketch show. Format Series 1 opens and often closes with Howard and Vince addressing the audience in front of a curtain; the viewer is thereby led to believe that Howard and Vince wrote the show themselves.

Series 2 leaves this format, instead starting in the characters' flat. Unlike the radio series, which is played as though real, the characters on the TV series all seem aware that they are in a TV show, and Vince especially will often break the fourth wall to address the audience and to comment on the situation.

Little attention is paid to continuity; for instance, in the second series the shaman Saboo is shown being killed by the demon Nanatoo, but in series 3 he is alive and well. The pilot episode was directed by Steve Bendelack , and a large portion of the pilot episode was used in the actual series, in the episode "Tundra".

Though the various forms of The Mighty Boosh have many recurring characters, the current "central cast" consists of five characters:. He is insecure, awkward, uptight and pretentious, and falsely claims to be a professional in music, acting, poetry, novel writing, and photography. Although confident in his ability, he is usually shown to be defective in these pursuits and bores everyone around him with his tedious passion for jazz and jazz-funk fusion.

In other words, he looks silly and is unaware of it. He is unpopular with many of the characters, including Mrs. Gideon who always forgets his name, Bob Fossil who often uses Howard as a puppet for his bizarre schemes and Bollo who often says his name wrong or ignores him completely. Also in one episode of the radio series Howard is constantly bothered by the zoo's security guard Graham, who never recognises him and in one scene attacks Howard with an electrical baton, but later in the show Howard gets his revenge.

In essence, he is the complete opposite of Vince Noir. Vince Noir Noel Fielding is the other main character. Unlike Howard, Vince is laid back, well-loved by the rest of the characters and takes a lot of time, effort and pride in his appearance.

His favourite feature is clearly his hair a prominent motif throughout the series , but he is determined to keep up with the latest fashions. He proclaims the virtues of accessorising and regularly criticises Howard's lack of style. Because of his fabulous hair and "glam" appearance, Vince is repeatedly mistaken for a woman in both television series.

Bob Fossil Rich Fulcher is the ill-tempered, eccentric owner of Bob Fossil's Funworld in the radio series and head-zookeeper of The Zooniverse in the television series with Dixon Bainbridge as the owner. He gives the appearance of being in love with Bainbridge. He does not know any of the correct names of the animals and refers to them by obscure referential statements. For example, a bear which Fossil regards as a latin term is called the "Russian carpet guy" and a snake as a "windy man" or " long mover".

During the memorial service for Bollo, Fossil is unable to remember the word "gorilla" and is forced to use a casette recorder to insert the word into his speech. In series two, he is much more successful, making a one-off appearance presenting the music showpie-face showcase in New York. He also makes appearances in series three, as the owner of the Velvet Onion night club. Bollo Peter Elliott for television series 1, Dave Brown for television series 2 and the radio series is a gorilla who leaves the zoo to become a DJ and live in a flat with Howard, Vince and Naboo.

He is Naboo's incompetent familiar; although he predicts trouble, he rarely gets anything else right, and often inadvertently reveals Naboo's magical secrets to Howard and Vince.

He dies in the episode named Bollo, but he returns in the same episode when Howard is mistaken by Death for a gorilla. In Fountain of Youth , Bollo reveals to Vince that he is actually forty years old, but because he is a DJ, he says he is twenty-nine. Naboo Michael Fielding is a shaman who works Zooniverse's kiosk.
