The
Mighty Boosh
After a pilot show on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ THREE last year, The Mighty Boosh returns
to the channel with its first series.
Written by and starring Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt,
The Mighty Boosh is an off-the-wall adventure based on their Perrier
Award-winning comedy show.
Vince Noir (Fielding) and Howard Moon (Barratt) are zookeepers at the
dilapidated Bob Fossil's Zoo-Niverse.
Μύ
They are the programme's unsuspecting heroes - Vince
is a regular 'Mowgli in flares', due to his affinity with animals and
adoration for all things Seventies, whereas Howard likes to think he
is more the brains of their zoo-keeping outfit, destined for better
things.
Noel and Julian's first Edinburgh show won them the Best Newcomer Perrier
Award in 1998. (EP)
The Smoking Room
There's only one place in any large corporation where shop talk is banned,
where rank means nothing and where the persecuted minority gather for
regular support -The Smoking Room.
This new comedy series, set entirely in a smoking room, explores the
foibles and suppressed longings of an oddly assorted bunch of employees,
united purely by their shared love of nicotine.
Among the permanent fixtures in the smoky retreat are Robin, whose passion
for the post boy is the company's worst-kept secret; Len, the grouchy
maintenance man; and Heidi, whose return from maternity leave, complete
with pictures of her monstrously ugly baby, causes revulsion within
the group. (HT)
