I used to love Bo Selecta and then Leigh Francis moved onto Keith Lemon and The Bear and I lost a bit of interest but having sat down to watch this the other day this was definately Leigh at his best!! I was laughing so hard my wife in the other room wondered what all the fuss was about.
Yes it is rude but so funny, it is so ridiculous but that's what makes it funny. I think MJ is one of Leigh's best characters.
Again to reiterate what others have said about the poor review on here, they obviously don't get what this show is all about...it may be rude but it is an affectionate look back at the life of MJ....

It really didn't take long after the passing of MJ for Leigh Francis to announce this 45 minute long "tribute" to the great man. The thought probably made some hardcore Jacko fans wince. Francis' Bo'Selector characters are renowned for being somewhat less than tasteful, however his MJ had also traditionally been one of his more affectionate portrails, and one of the most popular.
Aired on E4 in mid-september 2009, this is nothing short of comedy genius. A rip-roaring comedy express train that provides a Bo'Selector biopic from Jacko's childhood all the way to his untimely death. Along the way we have some great Bo' cameos including Craig David, Mel B and Kanye (the yorkshire Ken West). The brilliant thing about Francis' characters is that they are so far removed form reality that he can get away with things that other impersonations can't, and as such, while vulgour, sick and perverted, it never feels that offensive (saying that i have a very high tollerance to this kind of humour, others may be horrified).
The fact that Francis decided to resurect Bo'Selector and devote an hour long special to MJ i think shows he was a fan and there's a very touching moment at the end (as touching as Bo'Selector can be) where you feel that his choice of the word 'tribute' was actually genuine.
If you're a fan of Bo'Selector its a must. If you're a fan of Jacko and can handle a bit of satire then its a must. If you didn't like Jacko, its a must. However if you have a weak stomach when comdey is concerned and are easily offended by what are essentially just jokes, then i would stay clear. In my view though this is timeless comedy.

It doesn't make sense for me
Maybe a skid or two on TV is ok, but having a DVD of his not so funny acts about Michael Jackson is not really a good idea. I don't find it funny, specially after his death. Read more

Absolute rubbish
Wow, this was a big disappointment. I love the Bo Selector series and this was bought as a gift for my father. Unfortunately, when we put it on it was just crude and unfunny. Read more

Good sets for the music video spoofs though. Read more
