It's always hard to predict which British TV comedies will survive the journey across the Atlantic (Fawlty Towers, The Office succeded).

The most recent talked-about TV Comedy to be much-quoted over the photocopier or in the schoolyard is The Mighty Boosh.

Series 1 came close to winning this year's "Best Newcomer" BAFTA, and series 2 is (as a BBC Experiment) being broadcast online before it's TV debut.

Episodes 1 and 2 are online now. You might love it or hate it, but it's different (Noel Fielding's hairstyle is becoming a talking point in its own right).

Click Here to watch series 2 episodes 1 or 2

Mehh.

Just noticed the "UK Viewers Only" smallprint.

Probably won't work from US IP's.

That said, series one is on BitTorrent.
