Not In Newquay

At around 5.30am this morning, I met the Mighty Boosh at Heathrow Airport.


(Apologies for poor photography)

I took this on the second attempt. Stood out the front of Terminal 5 smoking, I saw a poncho-ed man getting out of a car. They haven't taken off in the same way that Electro has. Moments after, a tall man with long hair and a scraggly beard appeared. 'That's the Boosh,' I explained to my girlfriend.

Approaching both Barrett and Fielding (perhaps I should've just asked Noir), I asked for a photo: 'Not at half five in the morning mate.' Replied Barrett, expectantly.

I let them enter the Terminal unbothered by my prodding. A few minutes later, I saw them again, with Bollo (Dave Brown) and Naboo (Mike Fielding); as well as some unrecognised chap. 'Go on, you're famous, it's your job,' I goaded Fielding as he stood still for half a second for me to get a shit picture.

Bollo then explained where they were off to, 'We're going to New York for our annual holiday. We always go somewhere together, every year.'

Perhaps they'll come back for a commission for a US edition.
