The Legend of Old Greg: The begining


The Legend of Old Greg comes from a British television series entitled The Mighty Boosh. The creators and stars of The Mighty Boosh are Julian Barrat and Noel Fielding. They have developed stage shows, television shows, and radio series. The main characters of their series are Howard Moon (Julian Barrat), Bollo (Dave Brown), Naboo The Enigma (Micheal Fielding), Vince Noir (Noel Fielding), and Bob Fossil (Rich Fulcher). Old Gregg, played by Noel Fielding first appreared in an episode of the Mighty Boosh in 2005, and later when on to be in the stage show also entitled The Mighty Boosh.
At the begining of the first episode, Howard Moon and Vince Noir are discussing their "gig" and the reviews their band receive. Howard say: "we do not need the words of reviewers to tell us what we are about". Although the character saying this is fictional, the words he says may have some truth. Julian Barrat may have been feeling some of the pressure from critics to have the second season of The Mighty Boosh and their upcoming live show gain more fans.
The first video introduces us to Old Greg, we hear about his legend from the fisher men at the bar Vince and Howard stop at. Old Greg then appears in Howard's boat while he is fishing alone. In the next scene we will learn more about Old Greg and see where he lives and what his intensions are with Howard.
