The original Baby Driver

This weekend saw the release of the new Edgar Wright film Baby Driver, the story of a getaway driver who listens to music when he is on bank heists. This not the first time that Wright has explored the premise, in 2003 he directed a pop promo for British Trip Hop (then) duo  Mint Royle track Blue Song, The promo features a gang played by Mighty Boosh duo Noel (as the driver) Fielding and Julian Barrett plus regular Wright collaborators Nick Frost and Michael Smiley. The promo sees Fielding jiving away to the track in his seat while the rest of the gang go off to do the robbery. You can see the promo on Youtube but those of you out there who have the third series of The Mighty Boosh on DVD where it is an extra.
