The Mighty Boosh - Radio Show EP 1 - "Taken"

[@AfferbeckBeats]

The security guard sketch is one of my favourite bits in Boosh. Julian's delivery of "That's YOU!" is just perfect.

[@beazuzmcceasar22]

I don't know how to cope with real life after growing up with the boosh. Someone help.

[@turboflamez161]

Noel's recent words about the previous decade 'not having enough Boosh' has given me hope that we'll see 'The French Duke' and 'The Man With The Tiny Eyes Of A Shrew' again soon!

[@someonewhoexist]

I feel u dude, i think that's my problem i was like why my tastes so different then i rememebred i watched mighty boosh all the time as a 12 year oldhahahaha

[@circlesquaretriangle]

It helps with non real life lots though

[@leebtheloser]

It's a pain innit

[@wezkarl9217]

The boosh was real life

[@bobdole7451]

They should start a podcast. It'd be super easy and cheap and all their fans would love it.

[@BrianEHanson-ProjectNext]

THAT - is an utterly fantastic idea 💡!!

[@huzidamasta]

Yeh but it's more a case of time vs money I think. I'm not sure if it'd make the money that'd make it worth it. I'd enjoy it, but unfortunately I think boosh fans are a relatively small group because it's never really been that mainstream.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I could imagine Julian absolutely taking the piss out of them being forced by their agents or whatever into doing another pointless podcast like every other minor celebrity and making barely veiled insults at the sponsors while doing their ad reads. And Noel going on wild tangents and being completely bored by the concept of a podcast five minutes in.

[@kendavies3312]

I had binged the three seasons, and live tours before I learned of this. Must have been living in a Chinese pipe. Mindhorn is a Julian masterpiece. "A load of ugly people just pummeled his face right in" Calmly delivered is fantastic! Love the whole team Julian, Noel and Dixon Banbridge best characters.

Does anyone else think Boosh works just as well in audio form? they could be more daring with their writing and didn't have to worry too much about budgetary restrictions or other limitations. Regardless I'm going hiking Friday and I know what I'll be listening to

It works better in audio form. When you create the pictures yourself, they're always more vivid.

[@pietrayday9915]

Same here! I love how familiar some of the lines are after seeing the show, but it's all in a new context. I kinda like the way that Howard Moon seems to get a bit more of a fair shake in the radio show - on the TV show he's kind of the "butt monkey" who always gets a raw deal in the end....

It's so weird hearing the rest of these more than 10 years later. I'd only ever heard the "jungle" episode and for some reason assumed that there was only one episode in existence.

I don’t own the CD of this, but it is one of those things that I would always return to from time to time if I did. The only problem with using these files online is that the ads are there and they come on very obtrusively. Does anybody have a nicer link without advertising on it?

[@user-gl8qu7qf2q]

Lee Mack / Barrat parts are really funny

[@makara80]

I love how much brazen ad-libbing features in the radio show compared to its TV counterpart. Even funnier is that it seems to be utilised by Noel and Julian solely to make the other corpse! I reckon Noel edges this pseudo ‘corpsing contest’ though as Julian comes really close to losing it over ‘Cathy Rhind-Hoops’, ‘Jahoolee’ and the increasingly surreal ‘Charlie’ book titles Noel recites in other episodes! ...Absolutely none of the above antics ever seems to faze Rich though!

[@olivermackie5549]
