Show generally

Corrected entry: When Vince is told that the lead singer of The Black Tubes has been killed by being pushed into a canal, he expresses his disbelief that that could happen in Dalston. As a local boy surely he is aware that the Regents Canal runs right through Dalston? It's a very prominent local feature.

Correction: He's not shocked that there's a canal, he's shocked that somebody would intentionally push somebody else into it.

Tailkinker

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the first series, Howard can't play any instrument in case he is possessed by the Spirit Of Jazz (episode 7 - Electro). However, in the second series, this notion is ignored in order for Howard to be able to be in a band with Vince and Bollo. This would probably have been okay if Naboo had produced a cure or something, which didn't happen.

Correction: You mean, we didn't SEE it happen. Doesn't mean it didn't.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In the second series, Howard can talk to and understand Bollo. This doesn't make sense. Vince can, as he is 'Mowgli in flares' so can talk to animals, and since Bollo is Naboo's familiar, Naboo can understand him. Howard is neither and so shouldn't be able to understand him.

Correction: Bollo is a gorilla like Brian from Family Guy is a dog - he talks, we understand him. There's no magic involved. In later episodes a checkout operator at a supermarket understands him perfectly.

Show generally

Corrected entry: In "Killeroo," Howard is forced to fight because he has some kind of physical deformity on his abdomen. However, he is seen later in the series, in "Electro," stripped down to his underpants with no deformity in sight.

Correction: Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt have said that some events in the show are deliberately made to be inconsistent with previous episodes in order for it to be funnier. They even joke about it on the DVD commentary. For example, Bollo is seen dying at the end of the Season 1 episode "Bollo", and yet he is still alive in all future episodes.

Show generally

Corrected entry: This only covers the 2nd season. Whenever the Boosh van is shown driving down the road, the van is always on the right side of the road instead of the left, like it should be for the UK.

Correction: The show plays on a European element and is set in a parallel kind of universe. For example the currency is in Euros, driving on the right is just a continuation of this and is a joke that the show uses throughout all series.

Mutants - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: At the very end Vince is DJing with the cobra, and when the cobra starts dancing you can see the fishing wire attached to the snake to make it move.
