Starts Thursday at 9.00 on E4.

Not too sure what to make of the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8mdLTbuIH0 could be good or could be complete bonkers rubbish. hehe

I'm hoping it'll be different and funny.

Looks a bit too obscure for my tastes. I like him on Buzzcocks and can watch the odd episode of The Mighty Boosh, but this new series just looks a little.....odd.

I suspect it will be good because it's bonkers rubbish smile

I just hope this doesn't end up being a completely abstract collection of stuff thrown together, I'm a big fan of Mighty Boosh but I think without the more sensible aspect being added by Julian that's exactly what we will end up with.

I have to admit I've always thought of him as the Emperors New Clothes of comedy.

I just don't get the joke, so much so, I've been forced to the conclusion that once in the dim and distant past someone very cool had a very big belly laugh remembering something that had happening the night before, whilst he happened to be at a Neol Fielding gig.

Everyone else in the room terrified at being the only one not hip enough to get the punch line and wanting to be as cool as the cool guy all laughed too, and it all spiralled from there.

I quite like him on Buzzcocks, but from what I've seen of the Might Boosh and the trailer for this - what's funny about a mashed potato revolver? - I'm in the minority and don't get it, or millions of people are all watching it, desperately not wanting to be the uncool guy at the Noel Fielding gig.

Massive Boosh fan, but I am concerened that this could be the point where Noel finally disappears up his own arse.

We'll see.

Edit : having just watched the trailer for the show i would have to agree with the Youtube comment that this looks like The Mighty Boosh minus all of the bits that made it worth watching.

The EGO has landed as far as I can tell...

Glad I did the search before starting a topic... there is something funny about Noel, and i do mean in the comedy sense.... but the trailer for this show looks utter pish, this is the stuff thats meant to lure me into watching 30 mins of it?
I'm gonna check back here after the first show to see what you lot think, saves me possibly losing 30 mins of my life!

Did he not say he found it hard writing this new prog without his normal 'boosh' partner as he felt he was the comdey behind the show and not Noel?

It looks like how I imagine an LSD trip would be!

tbh I always took Noel Fielding as being a mash up of Ricky Gervais and Russel Howard :shudder:

I really want to like it but I have a bad feeling from seeing the advert.

The worst aspect is, if you follow his twitter or have seen him doing the rounds on radio/tv plugging for it, I would say that he is being quite humble in some chats and bricking it about the show - as if he can see that his bubble may burst.

Fingers crossed, need something to fill the obscure comedy angle since they axed mongrels mad

Still in! Although been more entertained by the advert break so far. Ah, those meerkats and their insurance brokering.

As for the show itself - utter arsegravy.

Ummm... I remember how good the boosh was: Milky Joe, Bootsy Collins, old gregg, the spirit of jazz..

This is just a hubba-bubba nightmare!

I like The Boosh, and often find Fielding amusing on panel shows etc.

This new thing though... this is terrible.
