Talk:List of characters from The Mighty Boosh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A lot of these character descriptions (esp. the major ones) give very specific and trivial details, rather than a broad overview of each character. This whole page needs a re-write. Also, there are a lot of spelling and grammar errors. - Tredanse 07:36, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I've gone in and tried to fix this in Vince, Howard, and Naboo's profiles so far, removing the plot summaries and replacing them with an attempt at a more general character overview. Can anyone tell me if it's a step in the right direction? If so I'll try and revise the other characters as well. Emperial 02:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

It's good work so far, keep at it. Tredanse 10:11, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I've corrected one or two mistakes, I'll look trough it harder, and try and find more things that could be better put et c.

I've fixed all of the spelling/grammar problems I could see, might want to consider forking off an individual article for each of the main three (four?) characters? Hauntedunix 14:29, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

I did a massive re-write but some dick just reversed it all adding plot summaries and irrelevent facts. Now I can't be arsed.--Crestville 15:50, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Moon

I'm tempted to draw a parallel between this moon, and the one in Le Voyage dans la Lune, though I'm also tempted to eat soap sandiwches. What do you think? boffy_b 01:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and yes. Watch out for the bubbles, they can make you sneeze.


I'm sure in the stage show that Rich Fulcher's character name changes. When I saw him in Sheffield he said his name was 'Huge,loud, Anal-Shitblast'. The rest of the sketch was the same though and the song was too.


Yes the name of Rich Fulcher's character changes every show. I saw it twice, once in Portsmouth once in Southampton and the names were different each time.

[edit] Merge Saboo

Currently there is a unique page for the character saboo. The information should probably be merged into this page, as more significant characters do not have their own wikipedia entries. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zadignose (talkcontribs) 07:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC).

Alright, then. In the absence of any objection, I'll do the merge myself. As I've never even heard of The Mighty Boosh, I expect someone else will have to verify that the imported information is correct. zadignose 13:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Aha! Thanks for the correction. This is why someone more familiar with the material needs to look the text over critically. The original had me confused as to who was saying "crunch time" when Saboo was stabbed with the knitting needles.zadignose 15:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Split into separate pages?

The page is getting too big, to put it simply. Is it worth splitting it into separate pages? Ie: Main characters, Radio Series characters, Series 1 characters, Series 2 characters, Live show characters. The Rock And Roll Pirate 11:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Main characters can be covered on The Mighty Boosh, and then have a page called "List of Minor Characters in The Mighty Boosh" instead? I personally feel that the page is too big as there is too much irrelevant information on each character, and too many jokes. Maybe a bit of heavy pruning should be done first, and then see how it looks and if it needs a split? ...adam... (talkcontributions) 19:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Also, many of the characters have their own page or have enough information to warrant one (i.e. Old Gregg has one and The Bongo Brothers, incorporating both Rudi and Spider, probably deserve one). That would cut down on the article size? ...adam... (talkcontributions) 19:49, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry - being particularly full of good ideas at the moment. As most of the characters in the show are one offs, why not add to each episode page a list of characters in it and just have a list page for recurring characters (which may deserve there own pages) and the minor characters in the radio series/live series until someone creates pages for those as well? Just, another, though. ...adam... (talkcontributions) 19:58, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok - just had a tidy up of the main characters and copied the minor characters to Killeroo - thoughts and opinions? ...adam... (talkcontributions) 21:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pete

Ive taken this:

Pete Pete is Naboo's friend who works in Dixons. The two generally sit around together, getting stoned and listening to Tangerine Dream.

off as I can't remember which episode he is in and don't have 4 hours to spare to find out - i think its jazz but anyone know??? ...adam... (talkcontributions) 17:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
