Episode 02 : At Darkplace Hospital lunch is delayed and objects begin flying around. At first suspicion falls on the hospital's temporary clerical assistant, but Dagless is determined to find out the truth. Guest starring Stephen Merchant.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a British dark comedy show made for Channel 4 by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade. Darkplace is presented as a lost classic: a television series produced in the 1980s, though never broadcast at the time. The show parodies numerous aspects of '80s low-budget television, including fashion, special effects, production gaffs, and music.
No copyright infringement intended. All copyright remains under Channel 4. I do not own this show at all. This is the wonderful work of writers and creators Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade.

Darkplace is a stupidly brilliant parody of bad horror writing, is endlessly funny, and well worth watching over and over again.
I find new things every watch through. We plan on doing a watch along on discord, if you're interested 😀
Garth Marenghi released a new book this year “Terrortome.” Matthew Holness did a nationwide book tour with readings and a Q&A in character as Garth Marenghi, it was brilliant.
That awesome. Didn't know he was still doing stuff like that
It is so good to finally see people react and appreciate Darkplace! It's so stupidly quotable, keep it up!
Will do.
''if you looking the wires, you forget to enjoy the show"
You gentlemen are true appreciators of the realms of the fantastique!
thank you my good sir ;)
@@TheWizardsRoom "Blood. Blood? Blood. Crimson copper smelling blood. His blood. Blood. And bits of sick."
If you're interested, the actor Matthew Holness has just written a book under the guise of Garth Marenghi called Terror Tome. Written as though he were Garth Marenghi. Here's the blurb:
'When horror writer Nick Steen gets sucked into a cursed typewriter by the terrifying Type-Face, Dark Lord of the Prolix, the hellish visions inside his head are unleashed for real. Forced to fight his escaping imagination - now leaking out of his own brain - Nick must defend the town of Stalkford from his own fictional horrors, including avascular-necrosis-obsessed serial killer Nelson Strain and Nick's dreaded throppleganger, the Dark Third.
Can he and Roz, his frequently incorrect female editor, hunt down these incarnate denizens of Nick's rampaging imaginata before they destroy Stalkford, outer Stalkford and possibly slightly further?'
You can grab a signed copy from the Forbidden Planet website, I'd highly recommend it!
The audiobook is hilarious.
Link it!
I went to see a live reading a few weeks ago, it was so funny! Got me a signed copy :D
Epic
Totally agree! It actually bugs me that nobody I show this to, likes it that much. I watch it repeatedly, it's great! Dean Learner has me in stitches.
Fantastic. I love that we found people who appreciate this work
Garth Marenghi is a genius most people don,t get it but this is the best of satire humor ever made
A true visionary
Everyone I know and have ever shown it to think it's great, maybe I don't know enough idiots or people who don't remember the 80's but I showed it a friend born in the 90's and he got it.
Easily one of the greatest comedies of all time. Watched back when it came out in the UK incredible stuff. Now live in Canada no one thinks it’s funny. Been championing Darkplace as best I can.
Keep up the good fight friend 💪
5:20 Cordless iron... with a cord... floats past
Picks up phone.
"Uh-huh, bye"
Hangs up.
Genius
This was a golden age of Brit Com. GMDP, Nathan Barley, Mighty Boosh, Brass Eye, Spaced, This is Dean Learner. A lot of cross pollination of ideas from that bunch of people.
Oh and Snuffbox
Dont forget Black Books!
Garth Maranghi's Dark Place is one of my favourite shows ever. It's done so brilliantly.
Dr Lucien Sanchez is my spirit animal
I found this channel because you started watching Dark Place
good to know! I think we're filming the next episode soon. Get ready ;)
same! I see Darkplace I click
Dope ;)
Darkplace is one of those shows if you find the dvd absolutely buy it. I have never seen a tv show dvd so jam packed with easter eggs. the commentaries are god damn hilarious, the documentaries and interviews are all done in character and are so fkn funny.
Is it hard to get
@@Radkereacts i got mine off ebay about $10. its pretty common. worth it though.
Thanks
I think you have to discover dark place rather than be shown, when you do it’s the funniest thing you’ll ever see
If your enjoying this you should watch "Man to Man with Dean Learner"
ill check it out
One of the greatest programs ever made.
It's genius on so many levels.
A truer statement has never been said
Your appreciation of Darkplace has earned you a sub from me. I've tried introducing it to many of my friends, only 1 ever really got it.
Same
Darkplace was so awesome , 'What we do in the shadows' is ace and 'Spaced' Simon Peggs first comedy series is a classic too....
Love us some British comedy
What's so great is that the series functions as a kind of character study with each terrible part of the show revealing a new layer of awfulness to Marenghi himself. In this episode, for instance, we learn that he's absolutely terrified, confused and repulsed by menstruation.
All "alpha" males are actually terrified of women.
@@Radkereacts
Yeah. Off topic but d’you remember when gamer bros freaked out that Aloy from the Horizon series had been rendered realistically with a small layer of facial hair and they were like, “🤯Why does she have a beard now?!” 😂 A real tell-us-you’ve-never-met-actual-human-females moment.
True. I only bring it up because Garth comes off as one of those self proclaimed sigma/alpha types which just translates to very insecure misogynist.
@@Radkereacts
But isn’t that a genius structure for a show - you learn more about the characters via the terrible art they make? The Dean Learner character is 😂 _really quite depraved_ the more interviews they show you of him.
Yeah, I noticed that.
I always knew smart American comedy fans could see how brilliant this show is. It was never mainstream in Britain and of my group of friends only 2 of us were die hard fans of it but I'm so glad I discovered it coming home drunk one night in my early 20's
i used to work at CEX in my youngers years in the uk and i remember seeing the dvd for it and i looked it up and thought this sounds terrible i must have it,,,, still watch it to this day
One of the greatest TV parodies of all time.
True!
There were some dodgy programmes in the UK in the 80s, but I am certain, without an ounce of doubt, that the people who created Darkplace were also influenced by American dramas like Miami Vice, Knight Rider etc. Some of those episodes could be rough-looking, though utterly fabulous.
Great reaction!!
Garth always liked to say Twin Peaks was the inspiration but David Lynch never had to give away a free jumbo mug for any of his films. It's demeaning. That and the fact Twin Peaks came out in 1990.
@@deanlearner1565 Yes, but he was a visionary. Plus actor. Love you Dean. Please give my regards to the champ Steve Pising. I followed his racing career when I was younger. It was a sporting travesty that he never made it to Formula 4. He always had your backing though.
@@sporkfindus4777 Television, literature, porno, dog racing. This guy's done it all. (Incidentally, there was no pressure to laugh during the chat show, it was meant to be dry.) Regards Deano x
Samurai Cop also - a masterpiece in filmmaking ineptitude
I remember finding this DVD in Gamestop years ago and buying it on a whim for about €1
Got so much enjoyment out of that €1 :)
It's brilliant if you love this you will LOVE THE MIGHTY BOOSH!!!
Once we are out of hyattis we'll definitely check out more of these shows. Until then if you want, you can watch me @realmaboutfantasy
Man what I wouldn't give for 2 buddies like you guys!
that's very kind, Roach. I suppose watching and commenting on the videos is the next best thing. we're still working on rebooting the podcast, but in the mean time, you could sub to my other channel (Trav's channel) Realmabout Fantasy
This was first brought out that I know of.. in the u.s. on Adult Swim about 6 years ago it ended up on some Saturday night show and the guy who does Sanchez has been on a bunch of cartoon voice over gigs... he's in the IT guys...as well.. the show is really funny you just watch them over and over again and it just makes you laugh and you get to see all the nuances .. they're great shows
Matt berry is fantastic! Check out what we do in the shadows. I'm editing the 3 episode reaction of darkplace now. Hope you look forward to that.
I highly recommend the DVD extras: m.ruclips.net/video/YsZlA6Qeseo/видео.html

Commentary from the characters as actors, but acting.
That sounds amazing
I like when they hardly know Stephen merchant creator of the office lol
'It's women like you that make this chicken late in the first place' is quite possibly the funniest line ever written.
My favourite show of all time, every time I watch I see something new.
Definitely need to rewatch. Maybe we will do a livestream over at twitch.tv/realmabout or here on RUclips. Depends.
Love Garth Marenghi. One of the funniest comedies ever created. For anyone new to Mathew Holness and Richard Aoyade's Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, one of Mathew Holness's first roles was as the IT technician in the UK original version of The Office, Richard Aoyade went on to play Maurice in The IT Crowd.
Fun fact
I watched the show when it had its brief run in Peru.
When was that?!
To this day, when I curse I say "son of a bitch" like Steven Marchant did in that scene. And that's like 20 years now :D
Brilliant
A hommage to Quantum Leap and Quincy
Darkplace was not appreciated when it came out in the early 00s. It is a lot better known now, thanks to RUclips. It doesn't hurt who's in it either.
True. My co host and I are going to react to ep4 today. The first time the video got corrupted lol
Nathan Barley is a personal favourite series. The paint/barber/cat scene is maybe my favourite comedy scene ever. And I'm seeing Garth Marenghi live in theatre later this year (same actor). Yay.
Lucky
"Look out he's got a stick"
Many have attempted this style of comedy but it's never been done so perfectly.
One of the greatest things I’ve ever watched
Me too
good to find some true connoisseurs of the phontastique
You're welcome
I remember this show, I remember when it aired on TV . It was brilliant, and the song that Sanchez sings is forever burned into my memory coz ' I'm a one track lover, down a two way la-ane!
You guys seem compact and muscular like corned beef.
Beef cakes!!!
I ran the only way I know how, by putting one leg in front of the other in quick succession
True words of wisdom
Episode 5 reaction out soon
irony upon irony. all this paper meant more paperwork.
This show is very reminiscent of a French Canadian show that used to air around 2005 called "Le coeur a ses raisons", which was similar but would spoof cheap soap opera shows.
I have watched most of the series on RUclips, except for the first episode, so incredibly funny and spectacular, too bad there wasn't a second season, if Channel Four had the money, we could have seen more horror and television tropes being made fun of, also Matt Berry was quite the cute hunk back then ( still is ).
After Darkplace, you should watch The Mighty Boosh.
We will put it on the list
A flawless masterpiece
true
everyone has a gun in this because it's a strange parody of not just UK but also US shows from the 80's, the UK shows couldn't have guns because it's not part of our culture but we were all obsessed with the US shows so they've just put them in as an absurd OTT element of the show, they're not just doctors but macho doctors that have guns and are not afraid to use them!
Every doctor in America has a gun, don't you know?
@@Radkereacts it really wouldn't surprise me
I'm new to your content. This just popped up in my feed. Totally want to recommend Man To Man With Dean Learner as well as Matthew Holness' recently released TerrorTome book (go audiobook). It's a Garth Marenghi book, written in character. So good.
We will watch it once we are out of hiadous. But if you like my content you can follow me @realmaboutfantasy on RUclips and twitch
I'm streaming right now ;)
Thanks for stopping by during the live stream
This episode rips off Carrie so fkn hard 😂 and Dagless’ rooftop confessionals that end each episode are straight out of the old Neil Patrick Harris show Doogie Houser MD. Miami Vice is another show from the 80s this show borrows heavily from.
yes the best show omg!!!
This is my favorite episode from the whole show. 😀
Mine too
There are a select others who appreciate it even more than what you guys might lol ;-0
I believe it. I feel like I've only scratched the surface -trav
Keep up the good work boys! Any chance you could upload the full reaction to dailymotion so we can watch unedited?
Watch podcast episode 29 on our channel. Full unedited version there
An eagle-eyed viewer might be able to see the wires. A pedant, might be able to see the wires. But I think if you're looking at the wires you're ignoring the story. If you go to a puppet show you can see the wires. But it's about the puppets, it's not about the string. If you go to a Punch And Judy show and you're only watching the wires, you're a freak.
Just to comment but there are 2 books by Garth out now. 😉
That might actually be worth it
@@RadkereactsThe audiobooks are voiced by the horror visionary himself too. Very highly recommended by myself. Went to see Garth live recently too - simply amazing!
Take a look at the cover. The doctors all carry guns.
Not to be taken seriously.
I love it. I got the set on dvd from the UK but unfortunatly its an unbalanced disc. Very noisy. I need to rip a copy to get rid of the noise.
That's crazy
Tall guy was the ogg monster
That's funny
@@Radkereacts it's a fact... From the office UK version
I appreciate it…I know the dialogue
"It really hurts..." might be my favourite line.
the only thing I envy te British is their humor.
True
Dude I loved the fk out of this show
Me too. Know one in my life understands how funny this show is
@@Radkereacts I know us fans need to connect and resurrect this show
This show was like a comedy litmus test. Half the people you show it to just don't get it.
Everyone I show it to doesn't get it unfortunately
Weird how it can be one of your favourite shows but you either talk over the best jokes or don't laugh when you do catch them. 🙄
Reacting and commentating makes it easy to over look stuff or catch only part of a joke. Which is not conducive for absorbing peak comedy. But thats the way it is. I was trying not to pause either.
