Nebulous is a post-apocalyptic science fiction comedy radio show written by Graham Duff and produced by Ted Dowd from Baby Cow Productions; it is directed by Nicholas Briggs. The series premiered in the United Kingdom on BBC Radio 4. Set in the year 2099 AD, the show focuses on the adventures of the eponymous Professor Nebulous, director of operations for the eco-troubleshooting team KENT (the Key Environmental Non-Judgmental Taskforce) as they combat various catastrophes and try to set the world back on the right path following a worldwide environmental disaster known as "The Withering". As well as being a parody of a number of famous science fiction programmes, including Doctor Who, Quatermass and Doomwatch,Nebulous is considered a cult radio programme, attracting a number of guest appearances from famous actors.

Tyranno Rex ruled the earth
A kickin back his lazy chair
Skinny mammals beating their chest
Out the caves gonna catch a (?/nap)
Reptiles really joy the coolness (?)
All in a days time
From New York to Angeline
Fearless drive across the masses
Basking in the strobe
Of the new blue tv screen
Long before we where ever dreamed
We're in main (?)
Faded waters of strength and commitment
Million years of/to (?) weather
Shark swims, armed with conviction
Several ladies blowin' the kisses
John Wayne lives
Riding off to another sunset
Learn to live each lie
Shaking off every bit of regret
