Whilst watching the Mighty Boosh night on BBC 3 the other night it struck me that this character: Looks remarkably similar to this photo of Viv: The Boosh's character is wearing make up etc and it's not leaves it's feathers on their costume, but do you think they were perhaps inspired by that picture? I've always found that picture of Viv quite disturbing as I'm used to him with long hair and he has quite a tortured look in his eye's. According to the documentary bout his life he had a bit of a nervous breakdown and shaved his hair off after the Bonzo's toured America so that's probably why.

He does indeed hmmm. The Boosh are fans so maybe that's where they got the idea.

I was listening to the commentary on the Mighty Boosh series 2 DVDand on the Yeti episode Noel comments that he thought the character Naboo meets in "shamansburys" "looked like Vivian Stanshall before he died before I put the Turban on" which is true and shows thatthey at least know who Viv was and must have looked at pictures of him.
