This looks hilarious – can't wait...
From the Warp Records site:
A six part comedy series Nathan Barley will begin on Channel 4 in February, co-written by Chris Morris and Charlie Brooker, who originally created the Barley character for his TVGoHome website. It stars Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, the Perrier-award winning pair behind the Mighty Boosh, regular Morris collaborate Kevin Eldon, plus Nina Sosanya and Ben Whishaw.
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.
Dan Ashcroft writes searing columns for Sugar Ape style magazine, (whose editor, Jonatton Yeah?, added the "?" by deed poll). He's considered astonishingly cool, but only by those he despises. He is surrounded by idiots and practically worshipped by Nathan (whom he considers to be their king). He is 34. Why has he failed to move on?
Claire Ashcroft, 27, is Dan's sister. Like Dan she despises "cool". She hasn't met Nathan yet, but like him she is a film-maker. Unlike him she despises novelty, trash, irony and gadgets. She is furious that no one will fund her hard-hitting documentary about a choir of reformed junkies.
Nathan, Dan and Claire work in the industrial conversions of Hosegate. They are about to become spliced together in a three way split. Claire no longer listens to Dan - which is a shame since he'd be the best person to warn her about Nathan. Claire is right about Dan; Dan is right about Nathan: Nathan is just wrong. He's an absolute fucking tool.
The show's advance publicity also features clothing chain bumphuk - a must-browse for Harmony Korine, Chloe Sevigny, Julian Casablancas and Sally Gunnell; gastropub Regime, where your food is chosen for you by assessing your electrolytes on a sensor at your table and the "beer is served in gourds"; and the Chimney Exchange bar, a "mecca for would-be trespassing renegades unable to discern that no one gives a flying fuck whether they're there or not".
