Meet Nathan Barley: a 26 year-old webmaster, guerrilla filmmaker, screenwriter, DJ and--in his own words--a "self-facilitating media node". Convinced he's the epitome of urban cool and therefore secretly terrified he might not be, Nathan reads "Sugar Ape Magazine"--aka his bible of cool--religously. The Nathan Barley DVD contains the complete six-part series broadcast in early 2005. Special Features Special features on the Nathan Barley DVD include: the original pilot episode; a 48-page booklet of Nathan Barley's "works"; deleted scenes; the option to view an entire episode re-dubbed with the wrong voices; newly recorded excerpts from Barley's internet radio show; extensive hi-res gallery of stills and programme graphics on DVD-Rom; the original tvgohome compilation; and hidden extras. Synopsis Episode 1: Baffled human wreck Dan Ashcroft (columnist on Sugar Ape) watches in horror as his world is over-run with 24-carat berks, led by a strutting, brainless c***-of-the-walk called Nathan Barley, who, distressingly, has designs on Dan's sister Claire. Episode 2: Dan is canonised against his will, while Nathan throws a party for his rubbish website and oozes closer to Claire. Episode 3: While Dan is plagued by a shrieking twit of a photographer called 15Peter20, Nathan grooms Claire with alcohol and an unsolicited breast massage. Episode 4: Dan accidentally creates a new hairstyle by sleeping in paint, while Nathan needs a new look to impress glamourous TV-chick Dajve ('Dave') Bikinus. Something is killed. Episode 5: Editor Jonatton Yeah? wants Dan to take part in some straight-on-straight gay action and a coke-blasted model proves an irresistible lure for Nathan. Episode 6: In the final episode, Nathan piggybacks his way into Claire's meeting with a TV commissioner, Pingu is broken like a rag doll, and Dan finally discovers a way to destroy Nathan. Review: In a way, a horror epic just like Dead Set! - I'm a longtime Chris Morris fan, and more recently a Charlie Brooker fan - living in Portugal, I wasn't aware of his Guardian column and his TV-bashing TV shows. I entered Brooker's world via Dead Set (not because it was written by him, but because I'm a zombie fan), loved it and started looking for his previous work. Nathan Barley was the only Chris Morris work I hadn't seen, so, being created by the two geniuses, it became essential. I was not disappointed. And the truth is - Nathan Barley ends up being as much a horror epic as Dead Set. It deals with zombies - just another kind of zombie. And the frustration and anguish that Dan Ashcroft feels (an amazing performance by Might Boosh's Julian Barratt) is just as suffocating as being surrounded by the living dead and feeling you're the only sane person in the world (although responsible for the dawn of the idiots, which makes it even more tragic). A masterpiece which manages to be hilarious and deeply disturbing! Review: Actually improves with every viewing! - Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker are a veritable dream team of comedy. Combine Brooker's articulately vehement ranting with Morris' deeply satirical guerrilla approach to entertainment and you're left with a potently scathing exploration of 'yoof' obsessed new media culture. But the best writing in the world can fall flat without the right actors and the ensemble cast of this comedy gold nugget really shine here. Julian (The Mighty Boosh) Barrat is superb as world - weary journalist Dan Ashcroft (Brooker's obvious mouthpiece), likewise comedy mainstay Richard Ayoade is gloriously loathesome as Ashcroft's cretinous colleague Ned. But it's Nicholas Burns that shines brightest as Nathan Barley himself! Seriously, he should be counted amongst the great comedy actors of our time! How he's not more famous is completely beyond me! Nathan Barley is so densely structured with gags that work on so many levels, visually and aurally the series actually improves with every viewing. This, my friends, is contemporary satire at its best! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Ben Whishaw, Charlie Condou, Chris Morris, Claire Keelan, Derrin Schlesinger, Julian Barratt, Nicholas Burns, Nina Sosanya, Noel Fielding, Rhys Thomas, Richard Ayoade, Spencer Brown Contributor Ben Whishaw, Charlie Condou, Chris Morris, Claire Keelan, Derrin Schlesinger, Julian Barratt, Nicholas Burns, Nina Sosanya, Noel Fielding, Rhys Thomas, Richard Ayoade, Spencer Brown See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 157 Reviews | | Format | PAL | | Manufacturer | 4dvd | | Number of discs | 1 | | Publication date | 21 Dec. 2005 | | Runtime | 2 hours and 24 minutes | ## Images ![Nathan Barley: Series 1 [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41bZSecH78L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ In a way, a horror epic just like Dead Set! *by M***. on 25 April 2011* I'm a longtime Chris Morris fan, and more recently a Charlie Brooker fan - living in Portugal, I wasn't aware of his Guardian column and his TV-bashing TV shows.
