Just wondered if anyone caught this the other night, it is incredibly funny, it has been described as the mighty boosh meets peep show.
So if you like either of those please check it out. The first episode's repeated on friday at 11.

It's hilarious - have watched the first fix or six episodes now.

Definitely one for fans of deadpan humour and musical references. Some of the songs are absolutely great too - 'Business Time' or 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room Tonight'. Classic stuff.

Hi,

Yep, I've been watching and enjoying this show too! Very subtle in the humour, and the songs are superb.

Did anyone else catch the HBO "Flight Of The Conchords" concert special, shown last Saturday night on BBC4?! It was a 30-minute music concert, with the two guys performing about 6 songs from their ouvre! Very, very funny, especially "Albie The Racist Dragon" (which is not as offensive or cruel as it sounds)!

Caught up on the first episode from my PVR last night. Very funny, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely on the must watch list from now on

And, yes it does remind a lot of Peep Show, especially with having the lovely Rachel Blanchard in the first episode.

What is it with HBO? They really can do no wrong. This makes a perfect hour of TV when watched alongside Entourage.
