Episode description
The show that's not quite Robot Wars! Bamzooki was the BBC's 2004 attempt at breaking into the """diGiTaL sPaCE"""
A long and complicated production history, a cameo from Hewlett Packard, and a ridiculously large budget resting on the computing skills of nine-year-olds. Hilarity ensues!
In this re-watch, we laugh cruelly at the comedy acting skills of children; the weird and wonderful naming conventions of the creatures known as "zooks"; and the class and gravitas brought to the show by the incomparable Jake Humphrey.
WARNING: Contains scenes of Barney Harwood doing his best "Ed Norton in Fight Club".Support the show
