Nathan Barley trailers on C4 (Friday 11/02/05, 10pm)

[Solid Snail]

Is it going to be shot in a documentary sort of way then? The first Dan trailer looked like a talking head.

[mcbpete]

Not that anyone asked, but the bubbling sound at the end of the trailers is from the start of Boards of Canada - A is to B as B is to C

[GK]

Yeah that's what came to my mind when I heard the bubble sound.

I don't know what the other one is though.

[Purple Tentacle]

Morris has a thing about more than one tab at once doesn't he? I suppose in this case it'll be dan thinking he's cool after watching wild at heart.

Yeah, it was just a throwaway line in one "Time to Go" that I chose to have Geefe doing in my little film because I thought it was funny. So, in my inflated self-important little mind, Morris has ripped me off. Me me me me me.

[Neil]

Multiple cig-smoking should have been in My Wrongs too, in fact can't you still see the cut bit in that drossymyso video?  (EDIT: Yeah I just checked, you only see him smoking through it in the Cartel Communique video, but you get a glimpse of it on the table in the full thing) This full script should have went up at Xmas but  we were scuppered by the bandwidth shenanigans.  Next update though:

SC: Sitting room TV on, thursday afternoon, curtains 4/5ths drawn, man in armchair watching, dog in another armchair watching man...

WIDE room tableau -

he's sucking a lolly pop?  And smoking at the same time?

Hands are inky

He's smoking through an dapted drinks can with five holes for fags - smoked like a crack pipe.

Lead round his neck.  Maybe an address label or an "if found" label on it

Phone ringing

ECU meticulous pile of fag ends - arranged into towers / pull focus to reveal man and dog on chairs.  Fag filters stuck together by being impaled on cocktail sticks.
EC U dog eyes (bit arch?)

whats on tv?  Clz circuit of himself & dog?  BBC4?  Tarkovsky?  Cricket.  Cartoons.  World at War?

That's been really bugging me since I saw the trailer- nice one.

[Hoogstraten'sSmilingUlcer]

Hey - Tarkovsky! Sorry, but it's like when someone mentions your favourite but extremely obscure band. Stalker and the original Solaris are superb films.

[Paaaaul]

Yep and the DVD cover has the pictures on the back of the "Design For Smoker" with the "quadruple nicotine" invention

[Emergency Lalla Ward Ten]

Last night I dreamt me and Alan Strang were in the studio audience for Nathan Barley. I can't remember much about it, but (a) it was mostly set in a multi-storey carpark, and (b) it featured lots of very long, joke-free chunks of dialogue with lots of pauses. The warm-up man was a sausage roll.

[skibz]

The warm-up man was a sausage roll.

A giant talking sausage roll with arms and legs, or just an ordinary sized, non-talking sausage roll?

[Emergency Lalla Ward Ten]

I think it was a whole plate of sausage rolls, actually. 'Any vegetarians in tonight?'

The show also featured *lots* of Jam-type video effects, but then that might have just been because I was dreaming.

[Labian Quest]

I haven't seen these teasers yet, but I like Charlie Brooker's work (the written stuff anyway) and Chris Morris, my only worry is whether or not the actors doing it (who I've never heard of ) will actually  do it justice (didn't like the TV adaptation of TVGH; I thought it came across a bit too weedy)

[Lumiere]

Just to clarify:

Has Morris written ANYTHING for this show, or is he merely directing?

[butnut]

I'm pretty sure he's co-written it, as that's what Neil said a few months ago.

[Lumiere]

Ah.

[clarkycat]

this new image has surfaced via a boosch-related site, dunno how legit it is (looks crap), but i thought i'd post it up for you.

[Lumiere]

It's telling us to visit www.emporiumofmirth.com

[problemarea]

Whats the website?? I cant read it

[Jaffa The Cake]

Copy & paste www23.brinkster.com/robertgraff/images/barleyprmo.jpg into a new window.

Yes, does look shite. Perhaps... it's... ironic....

[clarkycat]

It came from http://www.emporiumofmirth.co.uk/ (crap boosch loving site)

My mate Robert Graff, who himself is actually a self-confessed DJ and Web Master, put it online for us.

I actually think he could be a real nathan barley.

[problemarea]

But whats the website at the bottom of the pic?? Its unclear.

[clarkycat]

www.emporiumofmirth.co.uk

Above the address it says (C) Channel Four

[Lumiere]

Look around you.

[problemarea]

Ah yes. Thank you.

[Sivead]

But hey, whats that website say at the bottom of the pic?

[Dr David V]

Ah, I saw that pic in NME a couple of weeks ago. Probably an official one. I know it's taking the piss out of something, but I don't know what...

[Neil]

Lumiere, you do realise that people reading these boards at work could end up getting sacked by following your hilarious link, you fucking pointless pillock?  I'm fairly sure the rules state that such links should be accompanied by a "NOT WORK SAFE" pointer.

[Lumiere]

Sorry, but Sivead was trying to piss me off.

[SPAMBOT]

((LUMIERE I FEAR I JUST EDITED YOUR EDIT - WHATEVER IT WAS - I'M ON A SERIOUS LAG TODAY - NEED SOME RE-TUNING. THANKS FOR THE THOUGHT THOUGH.))
