The 70s had Python, the 80s had The Young Ones, the 90s had�?well�?Men Behaving Badly? Er, the 80s had The Young Ones. Well, never mind that.  If there is any justice on this messed up globe, the Zeros will be remembered for The Mighty Boosh despite the BBC schedulers attempts to obscure it.

Noel Fielding and Julian Barnett are at Oxford Borders today for an instore signing to promote their new DVD prior to their sell out gig at The Oxford Apollo later on.

They look like a bad rock band but the crowds don't care and snake all around the block for a glimpse and hopeful meeting of these two comedy successes.  The Mighty Boosh is unlike any show you are ever likely to see, and one that defies description.  The closest you could get to the unique style of Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding would be in the early days of Reeves and Mortimer, with their cardboard props and men with sticks.

But unlike Reeves and Mortimer, the Boosh zookeepers turned postmen Howard Moon (Juilan) and Vince Noir (Noel), never leave their own world. The Mighty Boosh inhabits a universe entirely of its own.
