Zimbani

A very pleasant spoof spy show, which boasts The Mighty Boosh's Julian Barratt in the title role. It's actually written by the two other comic actors David McNeill and Colin Hoult who make up the cast. It's twenty minutes long, set in the Seventies and features lines such as: "I thought I was in love with your mother. But it turns out that your mother was you... wearing a lovely hat." And exchanges like: "Zimbani wants a new Africa with him at the wheel." "He wants to turn Africa into a car?" Enjoyable - but making it half an hour, let alone trying a series, would be pushing it.
