Series 1 Howard and Vince, two workers in a run-down zoo, are often called upon to put their jobs before their pride. That means dressing up as animals and sitting 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

Series 2 Having broken out of the Zoo-Niverse, vain jazzman Howard and 1960s throwback Vince are free to embark on new adventures. 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.
