0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Hi, welcome to the show. My name's Howard Moon. He's Vince Noir.- Hiya.

0:00:06 > 0:00:09We've got a treat for you, a special friend of MINE,

0:00:09 > 0:00:15- an actor, a great actor, who's agreed to play a part within the show.- Not Simon McFarnaby?

0:00:15 > 0:00:20Yes, Simon McFarnaby, one of the foremost exponents of devised theatre in the country.

0:00:20 > 0:00:26- You only get him in cos you think he going to put you in one of his "devised" pieces.- He might do that.

0:00:26 > 0:00:32- I don't think so.- He's not working so I thought I'd get him in the show.- I wonder why(?)

0:00:32 > 0:00:35- What do you mean?- He looks a bit weird. He's wooden.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38- He looks like a conker. - No, he doesn't.

0:00:38 > 0:00:40He's here now. Do you mind?

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Simon McFarnaby.

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Hi.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47- How are you?- I'm well. - You're looking great.- Thanks.

0:00:47 > 0:00:52- Are you working much at the moment? - Bit quiet at the moment.

0:00:52 > 0:00:56- I've got something lined up for the autumn.- Really.- Bet you have.- Hmm?

0:00:56 > 0:01:00So, I just want to say that it's great to have you on the show,

0:01:00 > 0:01:04great to be working with you, really looking forward to working with you,

0:01:04 > 0:01:08- and just working and being with you. - Thanks. I'll go and get Wanda.- OK.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Why don't you go and put your head in some vinegar?- What?

0:01:11 > 0:01:14He's just mucking around.

0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Oh, right, OK.- All right. See you.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18- What are you doing?- What?- Get off!

0:01:18 > 0:01:20Enjoy the show.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Simon, Simon...

0:01:26 > 0:01:29..to the world of the Mighty Boosh!

0:01:40 > 0:01:44Come on, Howard, put some energy into it. Get involved.

0:01:44 > 0:01:48I'm carrying a bucket of seed. How am I meant to get involved in that?

0:01:48 > 0:01:51Best job in the zoo. Millet distribution.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Shoosh!- There's something wrong with you, you know that, don't you?

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- What do you mean?- You're always happy. Everything's fun. Huh?

0:01:59 > 0:02:02You see a peanut, the day's off to a good start.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05You witness some soil, it's a jamboree.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- I need something more. - I think it's this poncho.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11It's impossible to be unhappy in a poncho.

0:02:11 > 0:02:16I'm going to get a sombrero as well. Imagine that. Poncho-sombrero combo.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19I'll be off my tits on happiness. You should get one.

0:02:19 > 0:02:24Takes more than a Mexican outfit and some seed distribution to make me happy.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28You know, Vince, this zoo's too small for me.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30I'm a man of grand designs.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34I need something to stimulate my mind cogs. Know what I'm gonna be?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36- What?- I'm gonna be a writer.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40As if you're gonna be a writer! You haven't even got a pen.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44- You don't need a pen to be a writer, Vince.- I think you do.- Yeah.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48- I'm a deep thinker. I'm going to be a novelist.- I write novels.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50- What?- The Charlie books.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53- The Charlie books?- Yeah. - That pink shape you draw?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yeah, Charlie.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59Charlie is genius. He's made from a million pieces of old bubble gum!

0:02:59 > 0:03:00Imagine that!

0:03:00 > 0:03:04In the summer of 1976, on his way home from an Alice Cooper concert,

0:03:04 > 0:03:07Charlie started to melt onto the pavement.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10It was too hot in LA and he melted like a pink bitch.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14Luckily though, there was Eric Philips, a local crocodile,

0:03:14 > 0:03:16who dabbled in black magic.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21He took pity on Charlie and scraped him of the floor with a pair of fish slices.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24He poured him into an antique soup ladle

0:03:24 > 0:03:26and boarded his magic carpet...

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Ha-ha! Hold on tight, Charlie!

0:03:29 > 0:03:30..destination Alaska.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34Eric Philips decided to refreeze Charlie,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37but in his cold-blooded, reptilian haste,

0:03:37 > 0:03:40he refroze him into the shape of a Hoover.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41I wasn't thinking!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Charlie wasn't fazed, though.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46He just zoomed about the place, sucking up Inuits.

0:03:47 > 0:03:52The Inuits didn't mind. They loved it in Charlie's tight, warm belly pouch.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- They refused to come out. - That's cool!

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- He set fire to a posh hammer to make it official.- I appear to be on fire!

0:03:59 > 0:04:03The downside was that the Inuits suffocated immediately.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06It was airtight there. Charlie fired the Inuit bullets

0:04:06 > 0:04:11- into Eric's crocodile pupils. - After all I did for you!

0:04:11 > 0:04:14The green shape was frozen.

0:04:14 > 0:04:19After a quick drink, Charlie stole Eric Philips' magic carpet

0:04:19 > 0:04:21and left for Seattle.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Charlie was racked with guilt.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26He'd killed 50 Inuits. No-one needs that.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28He decided to spend the rest of his life

0:04:28 > 0:04:33putting small hairstyles onto boots, monkey nuts, trumpets and spanners.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37That's not a novel. That's the scribblings of a retard, Vince.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39They're novelettes.

0:04:39 > 0:04:40It's in crayon, you berk!

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- So what? I'm new school. - New school?- Yeah.

0:04:43 > 0:04:48- I'm talking about books that'll get published.- I publish mine myself.

0:04:48 > 0:04:52You photocopy them and leave them in supermarkets inside Weetabix boxes.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54That's not published, is it, huh?

0:04:54 > 0:04:58I want to deal with real people, real issues, real characters.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Charlie's real. - Will you shut up about Charlie?

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- He's not real.- He IS real. - Stop saying that.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- You're scared of Charlie.- I'm not! - Why are you scared?

0:05:08 > 0:05:12- I'm not!- You don't need to be scared of him.- I'm NOT scared of him.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Charlie's always been here.- What? - He's always been with us.- Shut up!

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Stop it. You know I don't like him. - He likes you. What's your problem?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- What do you mean? - He thinks you're funny.- Funny?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Yeah.- I'm not. - Know what he does?- I'm serious.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31He comes round when you're asleep, watches you, leans over your bed...

0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Shut up about Charlie. - You can't handle Charlie.- Shut up!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Have a look at techno-mouse, see how he's doing.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41RAVE MUSIC

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- He's freaking out, Howard. - Why, what's wrong with him?

0:05:48 > 0:05:52- A gram of speed and two microdots. - Get him in the ambient hutch, quick!

0:05:52 > 0:05:55AMBIENT MUSIC

0:05:55 > 0:05:57Drink some water.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Ah, I'll tell you what, Vince.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06When I'm famous, I'll be out of this zoo,

0:06:06 > 0:06:10mixing with high society, living the highlife.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- What about me? - Well, I'd bring you along with me.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Yeah?- You could come along with me.- Cool.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20- As a writer, I'd want to focus on the act of writing.- Yeah, yeah.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24- I wouldn't want to expend energy on mundane tasks like laundry.- No way.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27You could do it for me. That would help me out.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Get stuffed! I'm not doing that. - You could make tea for me,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34and hand me pens, as and when I need them.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37- What, like a caddy? - You'd like that, wouldn't you?

0:06:37 > 0:06:40- No.- You would. You could follow at a discreet distance

0:06:40 > 0:06:43and if I have an idea, you could whip out a Biro...

0:06:43 > 0:06:47- I'm not doing that. - ..carry a pencil case on wheels,

0:06:47 > 0:06:51just behind me, wear a little chequered suit, funny hat.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53I don't wear chequered suits.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57- I thought you liked dressing up. - Yeah, in ponchos.- The offer's there.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Thanks a lot(!) I'm going to lunch now.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Are you coming?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04No, no, I've got to do some reading.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06You mean you're going to spy on Gideon?

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- No, I've got to do some research for my novel.- Really?- Yeah.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14You should be careful. She's already put in a complaint.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16See you later, Speedy Gonzales.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26What are you doing, Moon?

0:07:26 > 0:07:32- Just reading.- Yeah? I got a problem with the black and white people at the zoo.- Who?

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- The black-eyed Chinese people that eat sticks.- The pandas.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Oh, I'm Howard Moon! I know how to read!

0:07:40 > 0:07:44I know all the animals' names at the zoo.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Yeah, the pandas.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- What's the problem? - Well, apparently,

0:07:49 > 0:07:55and this is on the QT, Bainbridge told me that when the man panda kisses the lady panda,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57they invent new baby pandas,

0:07:57 > 0:08:03- and everybody comes from all over and gives us money. - That's breeding.- Yeah, I know!

0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Hump time!- It's notoriously difficult to get pandas to breed in captivity.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09I thought you'd know that.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Yeah, but I got a plan, dingus!

0:08:11 > 0:08:15The man panda won't kiss the lady panda, right?

0:08:15 > 0:08:18So I want you to dress up as the man panda,

0:08:18 > 0:08:20start coming on to the lady...

0:08:20 > 0:08:22# La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da! #

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Make the man panda all jealous.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27He moves in - boom!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Babies all over the place.

0:08:29 > 0:08:31That is possibly the most obscene,

0:08:31 > 0:08:37disgusting, dangerous, humiliating and potentially dangerous thing I've ever heard you say.

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Thanks, dude!

0:08:39 > 0:08:43No man should ever, ever be made to dress as a panda.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Why am I doing this, exactly?

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Cos you've got a way with the animals, Vince.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53- I look ridiculous.- You look great. - I don't look anything like a panda.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Pandas are short-sighted. That's the beauty of MY scheme.- What do I do?

0:08:57 > 0:09:01You get in the panda lodge with Chi-Chi, dance about erotically,

0:09:01 > 0:09:04- make Fu-Fu jealous, bang! - And when Fu-Fu's jealous?

0:09:04 > 0:09:10- Knock on the door and I'll let you out.- What'll you be doing? - I'll be here.- Spying on Gideon?

0:09:10 > 0:09:12No, having my lunch.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40Howard.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Howard! Howard!

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Oh, hi there, Mrs Gideon.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50Who are you?

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Howard Moon. I work here at the zoo.

0:09:54 > 0:09:59- Why have you got crumbs round your eyes?- Oh, that's just...

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Me and Vince have been playing a game - crumb-eye.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06We have to get crumbs in each other's eyes.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10And, um... The winner gets a rake.

0:10:10 > 0:10:14- That's a good book. I like that. - Have you read it?- Oh, yeah!

0:10:14 > 0:10:20Yeah, twice. I've read it once in the original, and then in the paperback.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24Really related to Jonathan. I thought he was great.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26The serial killer?

0:10:28 > 0:10:33Yeah, I mean, as much as, you know, we can all relate to...to a killer.

0:10:33 > 0:10:37- We've all killed in our minds. - What are you talking about?

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Well, as a writer, it's, um...

0:10:40 > 0:10:43it's something that I... I have to do.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48I have to get involved in the darker side of the human psyche.

0:10:48 > 0:10:52- You're a writer?- Oh, yeah, yeah. Big time. Big time. Love to write.

0:10:52 > 0:10:57It's like a compulsion for me. The written word is like a drug.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00If you cut me, I bleed ink.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04I wrote that - one of the things I've written.

0:11:04 > 0:11:09- Are you a friend of Vince's?- Yeah! - Yes, he's a very nice boy.

0:11:14 > 0:11:18LAUGHTER, SLOW MUSIC PLAYS

0:11:18 > 0:11:23- What's going on here?- What? We're just making him jealous.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- He's jealous now. Let's go! - There's no way!

0:11:26 > 0:11:30She's not interested in him. He's a brute. He takes and takes!

0:11:30 > 0:11:34- There's no way they'll get it on. - OK, Vince. He's jealous now.

0:11:34 > 0:11:41- Just let nature take its course. - No! He's not stealing the glory! I put all the ground work in!

0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Ground work?!- Yeah!- Come on... - Get off! We have chemistry!

0:11:44 > 0:11:48- What are you looking at?! ..I'm ring you in the week.- Sorry.

0:13:40 > 0:13:45- It sounded exactly like the wind. - Yes, it blew a gale through my mind.

0:13:45 > 0:13:49- I can do other elements. - Yeah? Can you do fog?

0:14:21 > 0:14:25Please don't speak to me ever again in your life!

0:14:29 > 0:14:32- What's your novel about? - HE SIGHS

0:14:32 > 0:14:37A genius who can't work, because a monkey keeps annoying him.

0:14:37 > 0:14:42- You've made a classic error. - Have I(?)- You've focussed in on the wrong character.

0:14:42 > 0:14:48Now... The monkey, I'm loving him. But the other guy, I'm getting nothing off him.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51- He sounds like a dick. - Well, Mrs Gideon didn't think so.

0:14:51 > 0:14:56- Mrs Gideon?!- Yeah.- I knew this was what this was about!- What?!

0:14:56 > 0:15:02- You're so transparent. This is only cos you know she likes writers. - I'm not. I've always been a writer.

0:15:02 > 0:15:08- Have you?- Yeah. She's interested in me, cos I'm an intellectual and she's intellectual.- Yeah?- Yeah.

0:15:08 > 0:15:13When we get together, Vince... It's inevitable, but when we do, it'll be incredible.

0:15:13 > 0:15:17Poetry evenings every night, we'll both have pipes,

0:15:17 > 0:15:21wrestling with the heavyweight intellectual issues of the day.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27Oh, that sounds dreadful! I like thick girls. Girls who like bright colours, dancing, soft fabrics.

0:15:27 > 0:15:32- Don't you want an equal?- Yeah! So how much have you done, then?

0:15:32 > 0:15:38- Well, it's coming on.- Yeah?- Yeah. It's not really about quantity, when it comes to the modern novel.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- It's more quality of prose. - How much have you done?

0:15:41 > 0:15:46- One sentence, but it's... - What?! One sentence?!

0:15:46 > 0:15:50I fail to see what's funny about that. It's a damn good sentence.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- I'll send it to Hamilton Cork, see what he thinks.- Who?!

0:15:53 > 0:15:58- The publisher - Hamilton Cork. I'll send him this sentence. - I don't think he'll be interested.

0:15:58 > 0:16:03No, that's his philosophy. He can tell with one sentence whether to publish a book or not.

0:16:03 > 0:16:07And I'm gonna send him this. I want you to read it.

0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Oh, I'm all right.- Have a look. - I'm a bit busy...- Look at it!

0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I don't really want to! - Why?!- I'm not in the mood.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Just look at it! Don't be stupid!

0:16:17 > 0:16:21- You know what you're like! - What?- You can't take criticism.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25Don't be stupid! Go on - read it. Tell me what you think.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- That's really good. It's great.- Yeah?

0:16:29 > 0:16:31The only thing I would say...

0:16:40 > 0:16:43He's a lunatic! Absolutely nut box!

0:16:43 > 0:16:47I can't believe it! He's got anger problems.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51He should go and see Naboo. Naboo'll sort it out.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55Naboo's great. He'd sort anything out.

0:16:55 > 0:16:57See you later.
