The E4 fairies have just whispered into my ear that Noel Fielding will star in his first solo series which will be on E4 2011.
Currently titled Noel Fielding: Boopus, the project is described as a mixture of sketches, characters, art and animation as well as some celebridee guests. Oh and if you're a big fan of infusing, you're in luck as it is described as being "all infused with the singularly bizarre, fantastical and magical style which Fielding has made his own". Phew.
Our C4 Comedy Commissioner Nerys Evans said:
"We are so delighted to be working with Noel on this beautifully unique series. It’s a real passion piece for him which makes it hugely exciting for us. It merges Noel’s fantastical character comedy into beautifully animated art, as well as being, most importantly, laugh out loud funny."
In-between eating glitter on a marshmallow cloud, Noel Fielding said:
"I want to make something in the spirit of Spike Milligan or the Kenny Everett Show but using modern techniques. Blending filmed comedy with animation. Television needs a madman! I want the show to be psychedelic and beautiful but have charm and personality. If Dali made a show hopefully it would look like this."
Thoughts?
