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 introduce 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.

Brilliant Boosh formula
I've watched all the 3 series now and they all have the same great formula. One thing that's different about the Boosh is the music in each episode. If you've ever watched the 60's comedy series "The Monkees", it reminds me of that. Each episode starts with a story and there's a song or a two in it which belongs to that episode. The only episode that doesn't include a song is the "Crack Fox" but the song about the Crack Fox is included in the deleted scenes and I guess there wasn't enough time to put it in although it's a short and funny song. I'm very impressed with Julian's ability to write so many styles of music from medieval to jazz and punk to 80's! Perhaps the next series could include Gregorian chant! He's a very muli-talented writer, actor, comedian and musician, possibly an underated genius. Very funny episodes which you have to watch a few times as there's a lot of detail in it and there are good extras including the trailer for series 3,which I didn't see on TV plus deleted scenes, publicity.

I've given it four stars as there's a lot of references to drugs/swearing, which isn't good for the youngsters if they watch it. Perhaps there should be an adults and children's version.

genius
series 3 is genius, it packs in fantastic visuals, weird and wonderful music, our favorite old characters e.g. the Hitcher, strange new ones, the Crack fox and a whole new level in crimping. Its not the same as the other two series because that would be boring, Vince has grown up a bit and can be badly behaved, poor Howard is still as deluded as ever and Naboo and Bollo get to play an intergral part. Keep going Boosh boys you can still pull some wonderful shapes

still got it
I have loved the mighty boosh from the moment i saw it, and i still do. yes they have reused the hitcher, but there are enough other new characters in this series so its ok. bob fossil is a major character and MUST be in the series. i think the show has always and will always work best with jullian playing characters such as the crack fox and with howard moon being a lil awkward which does allow for more Vince Noir, but its how its always been and it still works.the show and characters have developed and changed over the 3 series but it would be boring if they had stayed the same, the boys know what we want and they give us it!

i think this series was awsome and wasn't dissapointed at all.

as it says in the title... they've still got it!!

long live the Boosh!!
