Production

A second series was commissioned by the BBC in July 2004, after the success of the first series. This was followed by extensive writing sessions, lasting until the actual filming, which took place from June to July 2005. Unlike the first series, (which by the plots were based upon the radio series) series 2 storylines were completely original and introduced new characters such as the Moon and Old Gregg, as well as a reappearance of the Hitcher from series 1.

Reception

The second series of ''The Mighty Boosh'' was the first BBC programme to be made available online before being shown on television, a method which drew in at least 36,000 viewers.
