Flight of the Conchords is a radio series broadcast on BBC Radio 2 in 2005, starring the New Zealand musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords. A three-CD set containing all the episodes was released in 2006 by the BBC. Each disc consisted of two episodes.
At the 2006 Sony Radio Academy Awards, the series won bronze in the Comedy Award. The later HBO television series of the same name was a spin-off from this radio series.
The series is frequently repeated on BBC Radio 4 Extra.
A Director's Cut release was planned by BBC, which was set to include "outtakes and full-length songs from the duo", and was initially set to be released on 13 November 2008 and was available for pre-order from the BBC Shop. However, the release date was then pushed back to 31 December 2009 and later 31 December 2010. The title has not been released, and the BBC Shop eventually removed their product page for the item.
