I'd say the Boosh was pretty gay.
But not camp.

eh?
Certainly there's bad camp Are yo being served, which is just lets laugh at the gay guy.
And good camp, e.g. Round the Horn, or Ain't half Hot Mum.
But camp doesn't have to be gay.

Yes we all agree on that.

Those shows are pretty gay though. Julian and Sandy?
Well yes you don't get much gayer, or more radical and heroic then ROund the Horn.
I've never seen Buffy and I haven't seen any of this series of Doctor Who, so I can't say whether it's camp any more. It's certainly used to be. One episode even had robot versions of 'Trinny and Susanna' in it. JNT's Who was camp in a different way - it didn't refer to popular culture much, but there was lots of whimsy and exaggerated self knowing - which are features of camp - which isn't just effeminacy and homosexuality. Most shows can still keep the allegiance of their viewers with a bit of camp, provided some barriers are not crossed. For me, putting a set of question marks on the Doctor's collar and a question mark on his umbrella, is tanking it.

Owing to your shocking grammar I can only make a best guess at what you're trying to say, but it would seem that you're beyond help and rational thought.
Are you being served, may have been one of the worst things ever produced on TV.
SLack, nasty, and just unpleasant. Compared to decent shows of the same era, Steptoe, Love thy Neighbour, or The Likely Lads. Why the affection for such a flea bitten old before it was young show?
