Modern Toss
Modern Toss is a British series of cartoon booklets and books aimed at adults, and a television series based on them. It is the creation of Mick Bunnage and Jon Link; their company is called Modern Toss Ltd, also going under the name '*hitflap' (apparently a euphemism for 'shitflap').
The cartoons feature low-quality drawing, offensive language, violence, and satire of mundane life. Most of the printed cartoons are one page long and consist of one or sometimes a few frames.
Since 2004, four issues of Modern Toss have been published as comics. Some of the issues are partly funded by advance subscription, with the names of subscribers listed in the booklet.
The first two issues were also compiled into a book, Modern Toss Book, published by Macmillan. A further edition compiled from the second two issues is available - entitled Modern Toss Another Book.Also a book entitled Work is available.
In November 2006, Modern Toss was published in the United States by Simon & Schuster.
From 11 July 2006, Channel 4 broadcast a partly animated late-night television series closely based on the published cartoons. It includes live action, animation, and cartoons combining the two. The show has a voice cast that includes Mackenzie Crook, Doon Mackichan, Paul Kaye and Simon Greenall. The animated segments maintain the simplistic look of the books.
The live-action sketches ("i live ere", "Alan", "Drive by abuser", "Customer services", "Accident and emergency", "Citizens advice", "Illegal alphabet") were directed by Ben Wheatley. The animation was directed by Bunnage and Link, series one animation produced by 12 foot 6, series two by Spy Pictures.
Beginning on 4 May 2007 the show aired on Bravo in the UK as part of the adult swim block.
The first series was released on Region 2 DVD in November 2007, while a second series started on Channel 4 on January 23, 2008. The Region 2 DVD of the second series will be released in Spring 2008.

The Mighty Boosh
The Mighty Boosh is a BBC grown comedy show written and staring Julian Barret and Noel Feilding. It was first broadcast as a comedy radio show on BBC4 and then moved to BBC3 in 2004.
From the first series I watched the Boosh and loved it. I could really relate to the surreal and weird humour and the dreamlike animations and visuals. I like the way that sets are used to the advantage. The sets look fake but in a way that looks stylish and that to look unfinished is the intension. The Boosh uses all original music composed by Jullian Barret. The music is a great contribution to the show. It adds a new world on to the other layers that make up the surreal and interesting world of the Mighty Boosh. The animations from the Boosh inspired the Bold Donkey series in many ways. Through mainly style and the way to lay out sound effects and music. In the Boosh animations, there is mostly no dialogue apart from a few random noises here and there nut is mostly music. I have chosen to take this element and adapt it for Bold Donkey.
