Mighty Boosh and together they write and star in this collection

zoo-keeping outfit, a brooding maverick destined for better things.

The boys embark on an array of magical, bizarre adventures
including a trip to the Arctic tundra to find a lost egg, an expedition
deep into the jungle, and quite literally to Hell and back in a dodgy
cab!

On their journeys they encounter a range of weird and
unusual characters including the Parka people, some mod wolves, the
ape of death who has a severe hair complex and a terrifying boxing kangaroo!
听
Together, Vince and Howard continually battle against
the owner of the Zoo-niverse 聳 Dixon Bainbridge (Matt Berry)
- and his manager Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher).
听
And if they are very lucky they are sometimes helped
on their adventures by zoo kiosk worker and all-knowing enigmatic mystic,
Naboo (Michael Fielding).
听
With music & mayhem - it's all in a days work for
The Mighty Boosh.
听
The Mighty Boosh is an eight part series which continues
大象传媒 THREE's tradition for innovative, edgy comedy such as Little Britain,
Nighty Night, 3 Non Blondes and 15 Storeys High.

effortless optimism.

is fawning over the zoo's owner 聳 Dixon Bainbridge 聳 the object
of his love and devotion.
