Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Episode 6 Part 3

  • Опубликовано: 5 фев 2007
  • In the 1980s horror writer Garth Marenghi wrote, produced, directed and starred in Darkplace, a groundbreaking series set in a hospital and exploring the depths of the author's imagination. At least that's what Marenghi and his publicist/co-star, Dean Learner, claim in modern-day interviews which both bookend and interrupt the episodes. In fact the show is cheap, chiché'd, full of gaping plot holes and startlingly misogynist. Garth Marenghi is a creation of comedian Matthew Holness, who won a Perrier award with the character at the 2001 Edinburgh festival.
    Sorry this is so short, I had a problem with the original video.

    I've just watched all 6 episodes in two days and I had forgotten how brilliant and underrated it is, from a time when Channel 4 made good tv programmes. Sadly not anymore.

    Oh man, these 6 episodes were some of the greatest things ever. The guy who plays Dean Learner is definitely one of my favorite comedy actors.

    of course it would be amazing, however it's been, what, over 25 years since they first did the show? And who would play Liz (R.I.P.) and also, I hear that Dean Learner has long since sold the garage in which they filmed the original series.

    Anyone who didn't cry during that is a robot...and having said that, I know for a fact that a robot would rather rust than to no cry at that episode. And robots don't have hearts. Or tear ducts for that matter. So if you didn't shed a tear (even if it's from your eyes watering because u just watched all 6 episodes in a row in the dark), what is wrong with you? MacGyver cried.

    America copies all these once off classic shows, gives them far too much exposure, adds their lame sense of humour to it, and ruins the entire franchize.
    And then Australia being America's bitch will probably make our own version as well.
    The reason Darkplace is so awesome is because there's only 6 classic episodes, which leaves you wanting more. If you get more you'll get bored of it and stop watching.

  • @adeadcarrot

    lol teacurry, has it occured to you at all while watching this series, that garth sometimes exaggerates and misleads as part of his character. given that this press release also mentions that the show was filmed in the 1980's and hasn't been aired till recently, blah blah.. is this a clue to you that 50 episodes might also be wrong ya think?

  • @AlpinKirkonen

    When an American show is funny, it's funny. When it's hilarious, it's hilarious ;)
    America copies all these classic foreign TV shows, adds their sense of humour to it and just ruins the entire thing. If something is funny in a British version, why not just enjoy the British version?
    And the second season to most shows like this is usually a complete fail. The magic would have gone and the jokes would sound the same, there would be a very slim chance of a second season doing well.

  • @martinmerrywinkle
    @martinmerrywinkle 15 лет назад +1

    to call american humour 'lame' is being a little narrow minded. Some of the most horrific, unfunny comedy shows I've seen are british. Think 'my family', or 'two pints of lager'. Nonetheless, when british humour is given creative freedom, it can become a classic show. Like the office, or this. oh, and only having a short run can add to the wonder of a show.

  • @AlpinKirkonen
    @AlpinKirkonen 15 лет назад

    Without a doubt the dumbest idea ive ever heard.

  • @matzahpudding
    @matzahpudding 15 лет назад

    Calling the American SOH "lame" is childish and erroneous. Yes, some of their comedy shows are terrifically unfunny, but so are many British ones - and when an American show is funny, it's completely hilarious.
    And, dude, if all shows that last more than 6 half-hour episodes bore you then maybe you should get checked out for ADD.

  • @matzahpudding
