Darkplace.

[T89 Callan]

I have just re-watched Garth Merenghi's Darkplace again and been reminded how brilliant and funny it is.

For anyone uniniciated it's a faux look back at a horror show made in the 80's for Channel 4 that was never released. Go and get it on DVD, one of the best £10's you'll ever spend.

Just briiliant heres a few of my favoutite excerts.

Opening titles with classic theme tune:

Surely a PH anthem... One track lover.

Have to agree, was an awesome series.

Definately one of those programmes where only making one series has ensured it will stay as a cult classic for many years to come.

Superb series, well worth getting on dvd





Cheers.

Inspired sitcom, wished they'd made another series.

Richard Ayoade playing Dean Learner playing Thorton Reed
"I need to crack this, Dag, cos if not, Won Ton will be all over me like knockers in a wind tunnel. "

and

Matt Berry playing Todd Rivers playing Dr Lucien Sanchez
"I'm Dr. Sanchez! You're a woman."

Both superb performances.

Brilliant series and criminally overlooked. So many great moments, the monkey chase scene is one of the funniest things I've ever seen


"I'm one of the few people you'll meet who've written more books then they're read"
"Am I holding a crock of st here? Tell me, is this hospital called St crock of st?"


or any of Thorton Reed's "acting"

"I haven't acted since.... some people say I wasn't acting during"

"I said Garth I have never acted before, he said I don't want acting I want the truth. So what you see isn't me acting it's me 'truthing'"

Classic lines.

"She was like a candle in the wind. Unreliable".

"As I moved through the corridor, I felt muscular and compact. Like corned beef".

My all-time favourite series.

"Nina's eyes popped out of what was left of her back. Why oh why had she opened that tomb? The sand turned red. This was because she was bleeding on it. Blood - ruby-red blood, her blood. Blood… and piss and st. This was the worst day of her life".
