Does anyone know if this criminally underrated show is coming back?

It was fab, but maybe a touch to good, for it's own good. It's one of those shows that if you're not smart enough, you don't get.

I thought it was great but I doubt we'll see it again. Maybe a one off if the writers get lucky?

Chris Morris has an enormous brain, thank God he doesn't use it for evil.

It struck me as the kind of programme which there'd only really be one series of no matter how successful.

Also it's not really a sitcom, as it had a very definite developmental arc.

I'd love my sitcom to be made by the same people who made Nathan Barley. Does anyone know the name of the Production Company?

I think it was a great series. But I imagine that Brooker & Morris found that they had said all there was to say about the character and his world in one series.

I loved the Dan Ashcroft character though, surely there is a place for him somewhere else?

Maybe Nathan is now in his late 30's and still acting like the "idiot"? David Brent stylee.

I'm sure I heard there would be another series. But that it would be quite different.

As I said on the Balls Of Steel thread, Nathan Barley is alive and well and running C4.
