Comedy Tip


Nathan Barley R2 (Uk Import) -
Releasedatum: 17 oktober 2005
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. Episode 1: Baffled human wreck Dan Ashcroft (Julian Barratt), - 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 (Claire Keelan). Episode 2: Dan is canonised against his will, while Nathan throws a party for his God-defeatingly rubbish website and oozes closer to Claire. Episode 3: While Dan is plagued by a shrieking twit of a photographer called Peter, Nathan grooms Claire with alcohol and unsolicited breast massage. Episode 4: Dan accidentally creates a new hairstyle by sleeping in paint. Nathan needs a new look to impress glamourous TV chick Dave 'dave' Bikinus. Something is killed. Episode 5: Editor Jonatton Yeah? (Charlie Condou), wants Dan to take part in some straight-on-straight gay action. A coke-blasted model proves an irresistible lure for Nathan. Episode 6: Nathan piggybacks his way into Claire's meeting with a TV commissioner, Pingu (Ben Whishaw), is broken like a rag doll and Dan finally discovers a way to destroy Nathan.
