TV Eye

Did anybody else watch "The Boosh" on SBS last night? More to the point, did anybody else think it was funny? What it reminded me of more than anything was the Goodies, albeit a more offensive Goodies. Although, on second thoughts, maybe the Goodies only seemed not to be offensive at the time because most of it went over our innocent heads: we borrowed a CD of Goodies songs from the library around Christmas time last year and, along with the Funky Gibbon and the cactus in the y-fronts, there was a song about a Bad Santa. There is something funny but also not funny at all about having a three- and a five-year-old (as they were then) running around the house singing "Father Christmas do not touch me" ...
