Boosh TV Is Go!!!

Great, great news. The Boosh has been commissioned by BBC3 for 10 episodes to be broadcast early next year so Noel and Julian are currently busy writing. This news comes directly from Julian and I think it is safe to say they are absolutely thrilled. It's been a long time coming...

Also, if you loved the show, which I am sure you all did if you saw it, please can you post some glowing comments to the BBC3 message board so the BBC can see how much everyone enjoyed the show.

Tundra:

The Boosh is a bizarre and hilarious comedy adventure in which Howard and Vince, two zookeepers at the dilapidated "Bob Fossils Zoo- niverse", find themselves searching for the Egg of Mantumbi in the unforgiving arctic tundra.

The egg is a priceless relic guarded by The Parka People, a race of people who are small and wear parkas. But there are other characters in the icy nothingness, like the polar bear who loves sledging but doesn't like Gary Numan, and Black Frost, the deathly chill that makes Jack Frost seem like a "warm cardigan".

Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding are The Boosh and play the zookeepers. Julian and Noel's first Edinburgh Festival show in 1998 won them the Best Newcomer Perrier Award, while their second Edinburgh show, Arctic Boosh, earned them a Perrier nomination.
