I tried his first weight loss CD and wasn’t impressed, although it wasn’t a complete dead loss. He blew it in one line for me though. But I think he knows his stuff, it’s just that the one-size-fits-all approach of TV or CD can’t possibly work for everyone. I’ve tried live hypnosis and I’m liking it so far – more on my own blog if you’re interested

Problem with the 3rd series of the boosh, IMO, was that it got a whole new audience that was interested in it between series two and three, so the third one repeated a lot of jokes from the first two. Bob Fossil dancing, the crimps, the shamans as extras, etc. It was still a good series but the amount of hype around it plus the amount of time between the two series (nearly three years, wasn’t it?) meant it let down a few of the older fans. I only got into it when they showed the second season on bbc2, but I could understand how older fans, maybe of the radio show or the stage shows before it, might have felt a bit let down.

I liked the first series, in the zoo. I’ve seen a few of the second it’s k but a bit up itself. I recorded the last series of Peep Show that was on Dave or somesuch over crimbo. Still fucking funny. I wonder if there will be a second series of the inbetweeners? Possible the best comedy of last year.

I didn’t get on with Boosh until I was introduced to Tony Harrison. That character is brilliant. I watched all his bits on YouTube, and got in to it that way.

My favourite bit off of series 3 was the spin the bottle bit of the party episode. ‘Only joking, it’s just a normal bottle.’

I did. I slip between preferring the first series with the narration and the silent, OU-style scientists, and the second one that was like a really shitty Tomorrow’s World. They really should be using Peter Serafinowitz’s talents in a better way than they currently are.

Gonzo porn’s great. I love the way they drag a girl off the street, offer her some cash for sex, and she’s fortunately had a full Brazillian AND an enema that very morning. If I was a cynical man, I’d think they’d set this little rendevous up.

Two stars, eh?

I believe gonzo porn was the element that changed the face of the format. Suddenly you could pretend that it was all real in a docusoap style. Fun!

Leaving the Boosh for a second, did you like Look Around You?

Swineshead – I don’t hate The Boosh, I just don’t get The Boosh.

I saw a film called ‘Meat Smokers’ in the early 90s. It was back in the day before porn companies got their act together and went straight to the action. If I’m thinking of the right film, a large portion of the start saw three young ladies in cat-suits tediously going over a bank robbery plan, driving to the bank, fucking up the robbery, getting caught and ending up in jail. It was only then, thirty-odd minutes in and ten fucking quid wasted (this was before the wonders of broadband freed porn from its sex shop, overpriced shackles), that the girls got down to smokin’ that meat.

My verdict? Two stars.

I still love bouncy castle from the last Boosh.

And if you hate the Boosh, Nappers, you’ll hate that link.

‘Meaty Smokers’ is my name on certain chat rooms I probably shouldn’t mention the name of on here.

True. I miss him on the radio though. He was fucking great.
I’m off home.
Later meaty smokers…

Nick – His new world sounds pretty similar to his old one. And making films with Adam Sandler makes you the new Rob Schneider. The bargain bin awaits!

Ros; Yeah, I am. I get so used to this sign in name I just assume everybody knows who I am.

Yes he is.
He comes and visits. Matt even turned up a few weeks ago!
