DVD Description
Howard and Vince, two workers in a run-down zoo, are often called upon to put their jobs before their pride. That means dressing up as animals and sitting in cages because their boss, American entrepreneur Bob Fossil, can't afford any real animals. Vince accepts the situation happily, quite in contrast to his grandiose, tweed-wearing colleague. But their jobs involve much more than just dressing up. Their strange adventures in the Zooniverse and beyond include battling mutant animals engineered in a secret laboratory under the zoo, boxing kangaroos to raise money, encountering missing cheese-headed explorers and jazz-funk musicians with doors in their heads… and a visit to Monkey Hell.

Featuring animation, puppets, songs and quirky special effects, this is surreal British comedy at its best. Both TV series 1 and 2 are included.

Synopsis
Howard Moon and Vince Noir are two zookeepers at the Zooniverse. Here they encounter many strange adventures including boxing kangaroos, missing cheese-headed explorers, jazz-funk musicians with doors in their heads and a visit to Monkey Hell. Includes Series 2.

Customer Reviews

Never Fails.
It took me a while to realise who The Mighty Boosh were and what they did. I'd seen it in DVD stores and so on, but it wasn't until my partner introduced me to it that I discovered it for what it really was. It is certainly surreal, and it can be extremely childish. It is also colourful, eventful and not dependant on the same premise every episode (I've got nothing at all against sitcoms which set up the same general premise every episode, but the way in which material and set-ups changed every episode, particularly in Series 2, really kept the fan wanting to tune in).

I am delighted that the one star reviews are belligerent and fail to produce good reasons for their dislike of the show. I think that is further demonstrative of its' value as unique modern humour. Modern comedy is increasingly problematic. It bases itself, in the main, on bullying and abuse of demographics of whom the 'comedian(s)' have little or no direct experience (this is a particular issue in stand-up at the moment). Comedy reads too many tabloids, and it listens to too many politicians and extremists. The Mighty Boosh doesn't care who you're voting for, what or who you believe in, what size or age or colour you are.

It doesn't surprise me that some people have found it intimidating, but that is their fault, and not the fault of the Boosh (in my opinion).

My only complaint is that Series 3 didn't quite hit the same spot as the first two series for me, but that doesn't really relate to this item.

Chinese cheese in a cockrels boot
The more i watch this the less i like it , vince/fielding is a tosser and the other one is worse , naboo/fielding m. is just awful. Leave it for the 13 yr old girls and the (puke) students.

Not bad
Be Honest well directed, and not bad my best bad guy was Jack Frost. Excellent set, nice monkey.
I laughed it bit it was good ps i liked the newer one but have only seen 2 episodes.
Good actors but i prefer the one with the chin fluff not the mod eek.
Nabu was spot on very funny, The zoo was convincing like buckfastleigh if the girls ran out of razor blades and could not shave for a year yep wild and hairy and sometimes quite scary.
Not bad at all.
