Of course The Mighty Boosh is an incredibly popular show. I wanted to praise the way in which they created a very surreal dream-like world. In the first series the creation of the Zooniverse is very distorted, compressed, an obvious set... that makes it all the more wierd and wonderful. I love the work of Special Effects designer, Tim Hope, who first suggested the use of projecting backgrounds as a way of keeping costs low but imagination high! More prevalent in the second series, I think these are some of the most inspirational and wonderful moments of the whole show.
June Nevin also does a fantastic job as the resident costume designer. The Boosh has many wild and wacky costumes but a tight budget. Nevin manages to successfully create awesome and inspiraional pieces from things as ordinary as tights and a coat hanger.
I believe the whole programme does something very clever and unique, drwing on loads of wacky references from across genres and time, which creates this ultimate surrealism. Like it says it does take you on a journey through "Time and Space".
