A surreal comic fantasy featuring Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) and Howard Moon (Julian Barratt), initially as two "zoo keepers" battling against the owner of the strange, dilapidated Zoo-niverse. Later, they find themselves sharing a flat in Dalston and working in a record shop owned by Naboo (Michael Fielding). The program featues a mixture of off-the-wall humour, puppets, animated sequences and music.
Is anyone out there familiar with the BBC program "
The Mighty Boosh"? Yeah, we knew there were fans out there! And one of them, reader Bill Norris, has sent us a tidbit about an upcoming DVD release for this U.K. show. You see, last May, the folks at the BBC America Online Shop blogged that we should "
Expect the first season (on DVD)
…at an unexpected time." Since then, they've been very quiet. But Bill told us that last Friday, the same source
blogged an update, telling us to expect it very soon now:
We are FINALLY about to enter the world of The Mighty Boosh!
No, we haven't forgotten about The Mighty Boosh, and we are happy to announce that Season One will be released this summer just in time for San Diego's mega Comic-Com convention.
The San Diego Comic Con 2009 runs from July 23rd-26th, so that may help us narrow down the timing of this release. But stay tuned, and we'll fill you in further once the BBC, and distributor Warner Home Video, formally announce the title and give it a specific release date. Our thanks to Bill for the heads-up!
