Flight of the Conchords

John Drake

Has anybody else seen this show? It premiered on BBC4 a couple of nights ago. I think HBO air it in the US. It was the funniest thing I've seen in ages. Very understated humour and all the better for it. It's about these two NZ musicians trying to make it in New York. The show is interspersed with musical numbers with lyrics that are pure genuis. These all came from episode 1. Please take a look at them. {[] And please watch this show if you get the chance.

Yes; it's brilliant. I saw the guy who plays Murray doing standup last week in London and he was fantastic.

This and Screenwipe make BBC4 tuesday nights a bit of a must-see.

I managed to get the Season 1 box-set for this show for a knock-down price after HMV wrongly put the price of a John Travolta movie on it. I'm surprised that the DVD is available while FOTC is still halfway through its UK run.

Ooh; well done. The radio series is currently being repeated on Radio 2 also.
