Nathan Barley is Charlie Brooker and Chris Morris' latest assault on society; a satirical parody of the Hoxton-finned, style-obsessed world of new media. 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.
