This week we review - Flight Of The Conchords (Series 1 Episode 8)

Flight of the Conchords are a New Zealand comedy duo composed of musicians Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement.

The duo's comedy and music became the basis of a BBC radio series and then an American television series that aired for two seasons on HBO.

They previously referred to themselves as "New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo", but as of 2014 refer to themselves as "the almost award-winning fourth-most-popular folk duo in New Zealand".

The series revolves around a fictional version of the pair as they try to achieve success as a band in New York City and try to develop an American fan base.

The regular cast includes fellow comedians Rhys Darby as Murray, Arj Barker as Dave, and Kristen Schaal as their obsessed fan Mel as well as many other comedians in guest starring roles.
