Big thanks to Nixta for turning me on to yet another great BBC television show THE MIGHTY BOOSH
From the website:
The Mighty Boosh is a show about two zoo keepers, Howard Moon and Vince Noir, who work at the Zooniverse, a dilapidated but magical zoo. Its is run by Bob Fossil, a demented American with a military disposition. Each week they get involved in a different adventure. Whether they end up in the Arctic Tundra or Monkey Hell they somehow always manage to get the zoo back intact...
The Cockney banter and pop culture references are top notch.
My favorite character is actually the zoo manager Bob Fossil, who doesn't know the names of the animals so he says things like:
"You know the guy with the little arms and the big pocket, you know, with the little version of himself in the front pocket" = Kangaroo
"Grey leg-face man" = Elephant
"Hands for feet man" = Gorilla
"The long mover, the windie man" = Snake
Season 1 and 2 are available on DVD through Amazon in the UK. Get yourself a multi-region dvd player if you don't already have one. (psst, peer-to-peer)

Must say that Nixta's uncanny resemblance to Vince is both awesome and frightening.
It's why I had to grow the beard. A hairy crysalis is a small price to pay for anonymity until all the fuss dies down and I'm once more free to walk the streets unaccosted, in the meantime working on the next big thing in urban chinnery.
