A bit too Acorn Antiques for me. The flame-throwering of the coffin and the comment after was funny though.

It was genius.

Although there was tons of obvious gags there was a lot of subtle stuff too (like all the 'buddy' stuff)

But if he does'nt do an episode in a quarry I'm gonna kill him.

Um, anyone know when its repeated?

It's back next week... same horror channel same horror hour.

Dunno, willing to send a tape on a cosmic journey of fear to be passed around those who missed it though.

You can also miss one as they are fairly self contained I think.

Was superb that was. A lovely mix of Spaced, Twin Peaks, 70's Cop/Hospital/Hospital Cop shows and umm Garth Marenghi I suppose.

This may be of interests... esp for those wannabe horror writers out there (hello Gordon) as it contains "My Top Tips for Writing Terrifying Telly and Not Getting Gypped"

Trailer tonight for a new drama Wire in the Blood starring the short-arsed Geordie one from Robson and Jerome that looks more than slightly Darkplace inspired.

paulvonscott · 01 February, 2004, 06:45:30 PM

I've watched it about 3 times now, I'm trying not to burn out on it.

Garth is Garth, what's more to be said.

Madeline Wool is loverly, she was very funny in Orcadia (Live RPG comedy!) and was funny in the live version.

The Dean Learner character is just great, in the hospital and out. Also in the live version.

Julian Sanchez is the big new character, he's great, better than great. I wish I had a best buddy like him.

I'm started to worry about you now Paul...

Still that new Soul thing on the Beeb... it looks Garth-tastic!

Saw the trailer for this week's - "Subtext is for cowards".

"Bestest Slogan Evah!"

It's getting dark, there isn't much time left, they're coming for me, I'll just say...

Garth Marenghi will scaring the shite out of us with his Darkplace again tonight at:

10:30pm tonight (Thursday) Channel 4
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
The hospital chef is attacked with a ladle and everyone assumes there is an unknown assailant on the loose, but their theories leave no room for the strange occurences elsewhere in the building. Can Dr Rick Dagless get to the bottom of it all?

The Amstor Computer · 05 February, 2004, 11:18:06 PM

Looking forward to tonight - have you got your white coat, PVS?

Quirkafleeg · 06 February, 2004, 03:13:36 AM

No long now... I'm getting my old specs out...
