Spring was definitely blooming in Britain last week until Siberia sent it’s biting wind and snow, winter’s last hissy fit. “It’s a punishment for all the people who wore shorts and sandals last week,” said Panos. Even just a quick splash of blue skies and crocuses is enough to get my jolly on. Love the colour and the sunshine!
‘It’s insane,’ said a friend of mine after watching Noel Fielding’s Luxury Comedy.
That’s the ultimate accolade for a show which has been described as biting into an aurora borealis sandwich. Known for the phenomenally successful Mighty Boosh, Fielding has created a colourful world of bizarre characters in psychedelic settings which boggle the mind. It’s a kaleidoscope of lysergic humour, which takes in Sgt.Pepper, the most dazzling extremes of glam rock and more than a large dollop of The Banana Splits. Remember them? Andy Warhol features as Noel’s cleaner, with a voice like Stephen Hawking and a laugh that comes as tickets. It’s a hugely entertaining visual wonderland, with artistic and cultural splashes on a canvas of indefinable humour.
It’s about to end it’s first run, so grab the final episode on Thursday 8 March on Channel Four (UK, sorry about that – emigrate) or watch the series on 4 OD but hurry because the episodes are expiring in order.
