Editorial 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

• 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... more info

• Not as Good as... but Better than...
  Series 3 is sort of uneven - three standout episodes that are strong enough to overwhelm the lazy, self indulgent strand running through all six. The main problem for me was that they brought to the fore those wonderful details that added unique texture in series 1 & 2. For example, crimping. Before crimping had a name, it was something that cropped up every now and then in a natural, brilliant sort of way. In series three there's an entire episode dedicated to crimping. Knowing it's something that can... more info

• Bouncy Bouncy, oh such a good time!
  Well, after reading the critical comments of previous posters I felt it my duty to add a more positive one! I do love how people are quite happy to sit in their armchairs with their Horlicks and pick apart someone's hard work(!)
  True, Noel and Julian are more famous now due mainstream TV coverage and Noel seems to be in the right circles with all the coolest bands etc but I don't see how this is reflected in the material in Series 3!!!
  They do use the same characters in this series as 2 but so... more info

• Series three
  We definately go on a journey through time and space with The Mighty Boosh in series three. In episode one we see the frightening cockney slasher "The Hitcher" make a re-appearance, in episode two we take a journey into Vince's body to find and destroy a rogue jazz cell, The Flighty Zeus take on the Boosh in episode three, the Crack Fox acquires some powerful Shaman juice in the fourth episode, there's some weird and wonderful goings on at a party in the fifth, including THAT kiss, and in the sixth episode... more info
