Glad to see this show back on the box. A refreshing, humourous angle on how shit british telly is. Tonight on BBC 4 at 10.30pm.

Caught last weeks, it was gem.

Glad he's back and on form.

- it's the sort of programme that myself and my mother would watch (She loved last week's) and my father would walk in, probably at the point he was showing his backside, shake his head and leave the room again.

He was good stick, he didn't get half the programmes we watched but never complained or interfered.

PS. It's to late for the iPlayer thing but it's on

NSFW

I tried the show a couple of times but it's not for me. I found him quite unlikeable.

Watched last weeks and it was so funny i sprayed coffee everywhere. The other half thinks i'm a fecking weirdo for liking it???!!! Bring it on i say.

Brooker, together with the superb Chris Morris, created Nathan Barley for C4 4 years back, a highly under-rated 6-part comedy which went for the jugular of those trendy Shoreditch/Camden 'media nodes' and all their hangers-on..
If you haven't seen it before it's on youtube, well worth a look

And he gives me a passing mention (rather like passing wind) in his Guardian column today.

I remember NB very well. Didn't get the success it deserved. Cult viewing now i guess. Anything by Morris or Brooker is always cutting and well written.

He has a point...

Everything about it is just so well written and the attention to detail is phenomenal. I have the dvd and everytime I watch I find something else I'd missed, be it a delightful quote from 'Doug Rocket' in the background or some other fine detail... the soundtrack is clever too even down to the music played in shops, clubs & the cafe

Is the website still up and running? Nathan Barley dot Cock? Could be wrong.

Yes it is, until recently it was www.trashbat.co.co as per the show, but that has recently changed to www.trashbat.com
