1/6

This new series from Chris Morris is impossible to classify. Described as a sitcom, there's very little "sit" while the "com" is specific and an acquired taste. But that's Chris Morris, guerrilla comedy genius behind The Day Today, for you. Here he satirises the tediously trendy world of London "fashionistas" and media types. The eponymous Nathan Barley is an idiot who thinks he's deeply cool, as he dresses in urban hip clothes and runs a ridiculous website called Trashbat. He's a buffoon, but his Trashbat antics have won him a firm following among young hip boys who work for absurd magazines. There are moments of Morris madness and it's a welcome comic oddity, though possibly one with limited appeal outside London's media maelstrom.
