Amazon.co.uk Review
Is there anything on television quite like The Mighty Boosh? Bluntly, who cares, for the ongoing adventures and antics of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt remain a comedic treat, even if season three does have its up and down moments.

Let’s temper that, quickly: The Mighty Boosh on one of its lesser days can still generate more laughs than 90% of other modern-day comedy series, and that’s certainly the case with the six episodes here. Lead characters Howard and Vince are found working in the Nabootique this time, and it’s not long before they’re joined by some old favourites. Cue Bob Fossil, the sublime Shamen, and the Moon, among others.

If there’s one downside to The Mighty Boosh’s third season, it is perhaps a little too much self-indulgence, which occasionally tempers things. But then that’s set against some brilliantly ambitious episodes, some of the finest surrealist humour on the telly, and the terrific Crack Fox.

There’s little denying that as a show, The Mighty Boosh can easily be classed as bizarre, bonkers, and straight-out odd. But here, that’s turned into the show’s strength. And given the side-splitting laughs it continues to generate, we wouldn’t have it any other way. --Jon Foster

DVD Description
Vince Noir and Howard Moon return for a third series of this cult comedy hit featuring another fantabulous mix of surreal humour, musical interludes, shiny clothes and strange haircuts.

Now working in Naboo's second hand shop, 'Nabootique', Howard mainly whiles away the hours in delusions of grandeur whilst unsuccessfully trying to sell his esoteric jazz records, while Vince lays around in a hammock playing loud music, trying on wigs and finding Howard ludicrous.

They assemble their usual accomplices, including Naboo the enigma and Bollo the ape, reunite us with some familiar faces including the Hitcher, the Moon and Bob Fossil, as well as introducing us to a whole host of new characters.

Synopsis
Coming 'at ya' with the third series of BBC3's cult phenomenon THE MIGHTY BOOSH. This time Howard and Vince have left the comfort of their Dalston flat to work in Naboo's shop--his 'Nabootique'--wherein Howard's passion for jazz, stationary and practical attire, clashes with Vince's obsessive love of haircare, accessorising and his own reflection. There's the welcome return of old favourites such as the Hitcher, Bob Fossil, the assorted Shamen council and of course, the Moon. As well as new characters; the Crack Fox, Lester Corncrake, the Flighty Zeus and Sammy the Crab. Includes all six episodes.

Customer Reviews

A great pleasure gone stale
Ace fantastical comedy series loses the comedy and becomes a massive self-congratulatory tugfest. Gutted. Interestingly, the children in the family's loyalty is unwavering whereas the big un's are all agreed that the funny has done a runner, that may mean nowt but may mean everything. I hate saying this, but for me it's time to put the Boosh to bed. I'll look forward to whatever the chaps get up to next time though, as a team or as individuals.

Sex,Shopping & Chavs :A Difficult 3rd Album from the Boosh
I got into the Boosh groove by buying the first two series and live DVD and had high hopes this third series would promote Julian & Noel into the premier league of British comedy from the late night BBC 3 "yoof" ghetto but, alas, sorry no dice.

All too often we see the two lead characters rather crudely sketched; perhaps this is due to the two stars writing for each other's characters.In addition, the "sit" in this sit-com is skewed towards the egomaniacal Noir than the more sympathetic Moon. In earlier series we enjoyed watching both lead characters struggle to live life to the full and dream their dreams while existing as outsiders. Vince the dandy despite his cocky charm was no more confident with ladies than Howard: witness his occassionally disasterous chats with Mrs Gideon & Kraftwerk Orange. But throughout this series we watch minor characters worship Vince the Prince and berate Moon the Goon. I have nothing against Camden but its fictionalised art-music-showbiz-scene is pretty unappealling. The number of cameo proles for very minor non-celebrity indie rock halfwits is just as pleasurable to watch as a wolverine devouring your new puppy. Quite frankly I would rather be a bin man than live in their world. While I love Vince I'm not sure many fans can empathise with him; how many of us feel the burden of adoration?Let's face it most of us are Moonites - neurotic, twitchy and have more issues than "What Fire" magazine.The lack of dynamism between Noir/Moon means that smaller roles like Monty Flange, Crack Fox and Tony Harrison flourish in the spotlight.As a result it is hard to believe how inconsistent this series is. It is great during Crack Fox but the Crimp is as much fun as a poke in the eye with a kebab skewer. Unfortuately the gag rate has suffered also:there are quite simply too few laughs.I can't be the only one who has noticed that the incidental music is meagre and often recycled.The series hasn't completely lost its charm but it either needs the input of either a firmer script editor, additional writers or, perhaps a rest for the two boys to regain their mojo.

Amazing!
In my opinion, series 3 is much better than series 1!
But I'm afraid that if you liked series 1 more than series two I guess you are not going to think series 3 is that good...

The Strange Tale of the Crack fox and Journey to the center of the punk are my favourites.
The only episode that isn't good is "The Chokes", That's the one with The Horrors. it's Horrible. haha.
apart from that, the DVD are worth 5 stars!
