Nebulous

The best new radio comedy since the Mighty Boosh

Download this brilliant comedy whilst it's still relatively unknown then feel smug and superior in a years time when you hear kids in the high street saying 'unlike you proffessor I no longer have the luxury of elbows'.
This is easily the best new radio comedy the BBC have put out in the last four years. Dr Who, Blake 7 and Red Dwarf fans will love it, but it's just as appealing to regular folks as well. The writing is as sharp as they come and the performances are pitch perfect. You'll listen to this brilliant series again and again.

Fantastic . . .

Some of the best science-fiction comedy since Red Dwarf. Can't fault it. Still, it's a shame about the Isle of Wight though ... ;-)

Buy this, I promise you will not regret it.

I can't wait for series two.
My whole family is addicted to this, my daughter quotes it endlessly. My wife hit a patch of ice in the car the other day and all she could do was cry with laughter and say 'I'm drifting.'
All the characters are so well rounded and so beautifully played that you just can't help but love them, although 'PQ's my favourite, he's the quiet one.'
This is without doubt the funniest thing I have seen or heard for years.

Genius comedy

Nebulous tells the story of KENT(Key Environmental Non-judgement Taskforce - and dry cleaning service) set after the Withering which destroyed the isle of White and caused Rory to loose... well everything.

If you like daft comedy, recurring gags and pseudo-science with a tongue in cheek lovable aside to those 1950's sci-fi radio dramas, this is for you.

Mark Gatiss is excellent as ever - its just a shame the second series isn't available.

If you like HHGTTG - you will love this!

Gets funnier as it goes along

I wasn't too impressed by the first episode, but carried on listening and found the series got funnier as it progressed. The characters need time to develop and there are several great running gags to anticipate.
I have now listened to all the episodes three times and giggle more each time!

A bit creaky.

This is one of those series that really needed a bit more work. The episodes are short and fun but there isn't a great deal to them and they could be cut and tightened quite a bit. Could be a lot better. You know the type where one guy writes but if you had half a dozen guys in a room they could perk it up a bit.
If it is cheap it covers a few short trips but not at full price.

Love this short series. amazing. Must listen

All voice acting was fab. Mark Gatiss was brilliant. laughed alot. A must listen. loved it.

Kent can do....

I have this on CD and have listened to it dozens of times. It is a shame series two is not easily available.
I tracked down all the other episodes on various sites (including the actors own sites as examples of their work) but I would prefer an official copy. A
It's a shame there are so few episodes as it is brilliantly written and performed.

Great fun!

This is the perfect listen on a rainy Sunday and it's child friendly too, only a shame there isn't more

Fingers crossed for series 2!

Would you consider the audio edition of Nebulous to be better than the print version?

Can't say I've read a print version, being a radio 4 show I doubt one exists, but sure characterisations were that good it probably would be better than a possible print version

What was one of the most memorable moments of Nebulous?

The lovelies and apparent celebrity future us gives alien invaders

What about Mark Gatiss and David Warner ’s performance did you like?

The awesome characterisation of their parts

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Nope.. comedy doesn't move me.. certainly had many laugh out loud moments.. whilst on the train.. so I looked a bit mad.
