Season 1 Synopsis
Howard and Vince are two workers in a run-down zoo who are often called upon to put their jobs before their pride.
This means that they dress up as animals and sit in cages because their boss, American entrepreneur Bob Fossil, can't afford any real animals.
Vince accepts the situation happily, quite in contrast to his grandiose, tweed-wearing colleague. But their jobs involve much more than just dressing up.
From battling mutant animals engineered in a secret laboratory underneath the zoo, to fighting a kangaroo to raise money for their dilapidated workplace, Howard and Vince always find themselves at the centre of some very strange events.
Season 2 Synopsis
Having broken out of the Zoo-Niverse, vain jazzman Howard and 1960s throwback Vince are free to embark on new adventures in Season 2 of The Mighty Boosh.
Although, as the pair go in search of fame and fortune, things don't quite work out as planned as they end up kidnapped by the mythical Yeti, battling the evil Betamax bandit and abducted by the merman of the Black Lake.
With reality-stretching plots, musical interludes and animated sequences, The Mighty Boosh takes the British tradition of surreal comic shenanigans to an entirely new level.
