The brainchild of Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris, Nathan Barley is their latest comedy assault on society; a satirical parody of the Hoxton-finned, style obsessed world of the new media. Nathan Barley is 26. He is a webmaster, guerrilla filmmaker, screenwriter, DJ and in his own words, a "self-facilitating media node". He is convinced he is the epitome of urban cool and therefore secretly terrified he might not be, which is why he reads Sugar Ape Magazine - his bible of cool. This DVD features the complete six part series shown on Channel 4 in early 2005.

One of the cleverest shows there has been. Now this is satire. Dan Ashcroft is a legend, a hero with some massive flaws. Superbly acted and impeccably executed. The likes of this you don't see very often. Takes until about episode 4 before it starts getting hilarious, but its done so well you can't complain.
Marvellous. Thank you Chris Morris.
As a big fan of Chris Morris, i expected this to be half decent.
...I was pretty disappointed!
I missed the whole series when it was aired on channel 4, so i've been waiting a long time to see this. But, it really wasn't worth the wait! I think it was a bit toooo wierd for a Morris show, and just not enough laugh out loud moments to make it worth while.
