The Mighty Boosh

BAFTA TV AWARDS® 1X nominee in 2008
Season 1 introduces us to 1960s throwback Vince Noir (Fielding) and vain jazzman Howard Moon (Barratt), who work at The Zoo-niverse, a dilapidated zoo owned by arrogant bully Dixon Bainbridge. They are directly answerable to the deranged General Manager, Bob Fossil, and often have to pretend they are the animals and sit in cages.
