Garth Marenghi is on again tonight (Thursday) on Channel 4 at 10:30pm. It's pretty damn funny, why aren't you watching it?

Generally Contrary · 13 February, 2004, 12:20:59 AM

Because its only 18.24. Why must I wait?!

Mr D · 13 February, 2004, 12:26:09 AM

Thank god you reminded me - I've been looking forward to it for days then nearly forgot!! I'll be about later to go 'WOW' etc

Mr D · 13 February, 2004, 05:21:21 AM

That was good....

Not quite as good as last weeks, but still one of the funniest things on TV. I really enjoyed it!

Hilarious!

Generally Contrary · 13 February, 2004, 05:28:11 AM

Nah, better than last week. But then last week I'd hyped myself up a bit too much.

Several laught out load moments again...

"Romford was the cruelist city..." Now that's how to start a novel!

Smiley · 13 February, 2004, 05:08:36 PM

"Killed by wasps".

Mr D · 13 February, 2004, 05:19:32 PM

Thornton Reed just has to appear on screen to make me laugh...

Oh, and his comment on his twins:

'I couldn't shake the fear that one of them might eat the other. They didn't, which I put down to good parenting.'

And later on:

'I always wanted a son. I have four daughters. While I don't hate them, don't resent them, I...... I don't feel that they're really on my side...'

I liked the bit with the randomly placed Garth Marenghi novel.

"It has shaken my preconceptions of the genre."

Mr D · 13 February, 2004, 08:54:00 PM

Did anybody tape the first one and is willing to part with it for a week or so? I missed it and it's driving me nuts!!

Smiley · 19 February, 2004, 09:36:35 PM

(Bump)

Reminder for anyone interested who keeps missing it - Tonight, Ch4 at 10:30

Has anyone been taping this? I'm out on Thursdays and my video's knackered so I haven't seen any of them :(

I caught last weeks on E4 last night, so I guess they are repeating it. I'll have to wait for them to repeat the whole lot before I see the first one though.

From Garth Marenghi's 'Netherhead':

"That night they did all the positions.

Woman on top.

Doggy style.

...And normal".

The best bit from Skipper the Eye Child, though, has to be at the beginning when that male patient was being buggered by a Fomorian sea-demon...

No, wait - it was a giant eye-ball, wasn't it? That was bloody hilarious!

Especially funny was the way they pixilated out the puppet's schlong, and Dean complaining that the censorship had compromised the episode's artist integrity. Genius!
