Transcript
00:00Series 2. We are.
00:02Never thought we'd make it this far.
00:06Come with us now on a journey through time and space.
00:10How was it coming back to the bouche?
00:12Another year of hell.
00:13It was very good, coming back to the bouche.
00:16Coming back to the bouche is like a good friend
00:21who you don't get along with, but you make love to.
00:25It was really good fun, actually, coming back.
00:30I found the reaction to the first series.
00:33Puke straight into my eye.
00:34Blank hatred.
00:35After Series 1, I just got a lot of love.
00:40I got savaged by a wolf in Sainsbury's.
00:42A woman threw a spring roll at me.
00:45Massive indifference.
00:47A pencil in the testicles.
00:48The fans were a bit strange, actually.
00:50Swift blow to the head and go about your business
00:52from just about everyone I met.
00:54I got a rocking chair made of spit.
00:57Give sense of me. Don't know how they managed to do that.
00:59Does that answer the question?
01:06We're back.
01:08We're marginally better.
01:10We have, surprisingly, a smaller budget
01:14and less will to go on.
01:16Slate one, take one.
01:19The first thing you'll notice when you watch Season 2
01:21is that the zoo is gone.
01:23What happened to the zoo?
01:26I'd like to know.
01:27What happened to the zoo?
01:29It's a conundrum wrapped in a pickle.
01:31The zoo got taken away by this old guy called Joe.
01:35He basically came over and he stuffed it into a really small bum bag.
01:41We did a survey and quite a lot of viewers were furious at leaving the zoo.
01:46Nolan's Union had written eight episodes set in the zoo
01:48and they felt like a change.
01:49And I think there was a feeling that we all had in Series 1
01:54that we always wanted to be getting onto the adventure quicker.
01:57We get right into the adventure.
02:00Right into the adventure.
02:02Series starts in the adventure.
02:05Adventure.
02:06Hi!
02:07The Boosh adventure.
02:09Adventure!
02:10We wanted to go on an adventure so we thought
02:12why don't we cut down the place we set off from
02:17into a tiny domestic setting.
02:20Boosh flat.
02:22Boosh premises.
02:23Boosh headquarters.
02:25The flat.
02:28We didn't want it to look mundane at all.
02:31We wanted it to look beautiful so we wanted the flat to look quite stylish.
02:37And there's a cross between the monkeys, the banana splits
02:39and performance, the film performance.
02:41We wanted it to look quite retro but a bit modern as well.
02:44We wanted it to look in a place where people would want to live.
02:49According to the designer James Dillard there is one item in the flat
02:55which refers to each episode.
02:57So for example the bar in the corner is in the shape of a boat
03:02and that's there because of the Desert Island episode when they are shipwrecked.
