Julian Barratt (Dan Ashcroft in Nathan Barley) and Noel Fielding (the DJ from Nathan Barley, Crazed Monkey in Darkplace, and the hidden goth from the IT Crowd) have brought a level of quality and invention to British comedy that has been missing for a very long time. Fans of madcap shows the likes of Monty Python, I'm looking at you. Produced by Steve Coogan (I'm Alan Partridge), the program features hilarious songs such as 'The Soup Song,' 'Nannageddon' and the most imaginative creatures developed straight from Noel Fielding's drawings. The result is a crazy yet fanciful comedy that is not to be missed. Season One concerns overly self-conscious and insecure slap-base fanatic Howard Moon and the incredibly vain (but with his hair, who can blame him?) yet dim Vince Noir working at the 'Zooniverse' while Season Two is a change of pace with the duo living in a flat with Naboo the Enigma and Bolo the Ape. I was a bit thrown by the second season's shift, but aside from the really really unfortunate episode two (the only episode to disappoint, 'The Priest and the Beast'), it was top notch, ending in one of the most bizarre finales I've ever seen. The box set comes with a collectible booklet featuring drawings by Fielding and production snapshots. The DVDs have numerous extras including documentaries, cut scenes, and the short film 'Sweet.' If you are, like me, a fan of British comedy looking for something new, this is right up your alley.Read full review
Can't imagine how I missed out on this when it was first broadcast but I've got it covered now with this great series 1&2 box. Should keep me off the streets for a bit.
