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

Bouncy bouncy: the boosh is bouncing back into shape
I believe the first couple of series are somewhat cheap, a myriad of bad jokes. But, as Fielding and Barratt step up to become writers, this has
been ( in my eyes ) the best series yet. Eels was odd, but was one of the best songs in the history of Boosh.Journey to the center of the punk ismy favourite, although it was blatantly obvious that was copied from a real film. I absoulutely loved the stationary village idea, which was totally original to my knowledge.I try to forget the power of the crimp, as it was not very funny or exciting. I enjoyed everything else, especially Party, with the glorious bouncy bouncy crimp!

A return to form
After a mediocre second series this is a return to the Boosh we loved in the first series. Packed with crimp-offs and a host of new characters. You will be taking retro to it's logical conclusion.

Not so nicey nicey zoo zoo...
So the first two series were great. The radio series was great. They had energy, origionality, verve, were set in a world outside of our own. They had an awkward hero in Howard Moon that we could all laugh at and yet root for. Characters like Bob Fossil, Charlie, Old Greg and Milky Joe populated a world that was rarely not funny, interesting or different.
Series 3: Set in Camden, staring NOEL FEILDING!!!!!!!!.... oh yeah, and julien barrat... sort of. The bumbling hero is now the sidekick. all the old characters are re-run and the jokes are largely re-cycled, take crimping. A few mildly amusing moments, most of them involving howard moon 'its whats inside that counts' etc.
I mean I never liked the 'noel fielding show'... i like the mighty boosh. and this is a joke. its got nme slapped all over it, for gods sake its set in camden. When you compare it to the old shows and other great comedy series like snuff box and darkplace, its very unfunny and that why im handing out the singular star.
Get back to what made the show great, and i dont mean just use the old ideas but the premise of the show has changed. nobody cares about the old characters anymore, or i hope at least, everyone is sick to death of vince.
