Oh joy! I learned this weekend that there is new Chris Morris TV product comming to a Channel 4 near you this month. This is going to totally rock. I guarantee it!

It's funny because I was walking down Newburgh Street in Soho on Saturday night and the thought hit me that this is pure Nathan Barley territory. There were shops there with special jeans imported from Japan for £120, because, like, they are from JAPAN. And dude, you can't afford them.

But I'm sorry to see that Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt are in it. Fair enough, I believe they are brilliant comedians but I've always been dead against them purely because Noel has always sported the kind of wild hair statement that I hate (My hatred is rare and always unreasonable). The original Nathan Barley stories on TVGoHome (kids: that link is full of bad language which is neither big or clever) used to treat that kind of tonsorial nonsense with the contempt it deserves.

"More candid scenes from the life of Nathan Barley, an odious twentysomething toff and media wannabe who generally deserves to die. This week: Nathan spends a king's ransom on a self-consciously 'scruffy' haircut and bags a job as a presenter on a new youth-oriented TV show produced by his overpaid womanizing uncle"

UPDATE: A friend has pointed me to what looks like the website for the show: looks ace. it's got a couple of trailers and a fantastic advert for a new mobile phone - just click on the Wasp link in the corner. It's everything that is wrong with the media and techno-fetishism and I salute them.
