Outtakes

God bless the people at IMDb, I struggle to get short films I've seen at festivals added to the database but yet a collection of comedy bloopers from a BBC3 television show gets added as a separate title! Well anyway, my compulsive behaviour is not yet weak enough for me to be able to walk away from reviewing everything that I have seen (if the sun coming up had a title page then I'd find it hard to resist doing that as well). This short film is just what the title says – outtakes from the making of season one of The Mighty Boosh.

It is a very short collection and mainly it just consists of a series of fluffed lines and dialogue stumbles and none of it is all that funny – certainly not anywhere near as good as the same lines/scenes when they are delivered without mistakes! Therefore the film offers little if you are viewing it by itself. Where it works best (well, the only way it works) is when you view it as a DVD extra immediately after getting a couple of episodes down you; watching by itself just robs you of the god things about the season and leaves you with people messing up like they were mere mortals – which of course Boosh fans already know Fielding and Barratt are not!
