"Since I first came to Darkplace I was strictly solo. You're the first real buddy that I ever had. Buuut if you and he wish to be best buddies again, I won't stand in your way!"
My mum had to search high and low to find this on DVD for me when I asked for it for my 21st. 16 years later and it's one of my most prized possessions.
Garth marenghi's darkplace is made around 1984 I think it came out in 2004 but parody 80s tv show I think this show is made in 83 and 84 and got cancelled in 1984 20 year later in 2004 some reruns on channel 4 and that's it because this show was made around 20 year ago aired on tv almost 20 year now so this show is 40 year old by now?
My favorite gag in Darkplace is when Sanchez is being introduced in episode one. Todd Rivers isn't only reacting to Dagless's internal monologue as if he can hear it, he's reacting as if it's *HIS* monologue. Just a great layered joke where the punchline is both Marenghi's poor writing and direction, as well as Rivers' overinflated ego and total ignorance of the plot of the show he's in.
"Like a candle in the wind... unreliable" is a quote I still use today whenever I find someone unreliable. Most underrated line in comedy ever. Every time I watch this, and I've seen it so many times, I see something new that makes me laugh and appreciate all the intentional badness, which ironically take more time and effort to produce than if they'd have just made it normally. The sound mixing and editing are utter genius.
I am proud to say that I watched all 6 episodes when they were first broadcast. It was advertised well by channel 4, but few seemed to care. No idea why it wasn't popular at the time.
Probably as unless you knew what it was about it looks like a shit show with the filming and acting. Anyone who skipped channels would skip this. Also no one knew Garth Marenghi because he’s a fictional character so there’s no reason to have wanted to watch it. I feel like the show wasn’t meant to be a commercial success at all on purpose as they knew it would gain a ‘cult following’ in the years to come.
I watched it at the time too, iirc it was on pretty late (like 10:30pm) and was often bumped for other stuff so it was on at inconsistent times and there were weird gaps between episodes, it just never really got a proper go of it really, which would be tough for any show, let alone for a niche meta-comedy. Plus even with the cult popularity it had, it didn't come out on DVD for literally years after (I think because of some rights issue), so if you missed it, there wasn't really a way for people to check it out or stumble across it. I think if it had come along in the days of Streaming and Social media it would have done way better through word of mouth
Yep, me too. I also can’t understand why it wasn’t popular - I thought it was brilliant……..however, with hindsight, I’m glad that it became such a cult series. The only hing I’m sad about is that Matt Holness hasn’t become a massive success in the same way that Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade have.
I was 13 and used to stay up to watch Banzai. Dark Place was hilarious as a kid. Better in my late teens. Even better again in my early 20's and now I'm in my 30's I genuinely think it's the best thing thats been on tv since the turn of the millenium. I urge everyone to watch it. Perfection.
Matthew Holness is currently writing novels as Garth and doing book tours, he stays in character the whole time even does Q&A's and signings. Very much worth trying to catch a show.
I worked for Channel 4 back in 2012 on a show that ranked their 30 greatest comedies of all time based on an online vote. Darkplace didn't make the original shortlist! I raised it with the then head of comedy, he agreed it was a travesty, and it got added to the vote. It came 11th in the end, pretty good considering how few people saw it when it first aired!
Good on ya mate. Darkplace is legendary. I’m from Germany myself but lived in the UK from 1996-2007 and then again form 2008-2014. I found out about Darkplace a few years after it had originally aired, during a time while I was still living in the UK. In 2024 it will have been 10 years since I left the UK and moved back to Germany but looking back at it, Darkplace reminds of brilliant British humour as well as my time spent in the UK being some of the best years of my life.
Darkplace is truly an exception to the "if it's bad on purpose, it sucks" rule. Lots and lots of shows/movies try to be bad on purpose for a joke and it's groan worthy, but the mastery of it with Darkplace flip that on it's head. It's up there with Better Call Saul breaking the "I hate prequels" rule.
Never heard of this before. It's like a mashup of Mighty Boosh weirdness, with The Office style interviews, half the cast of The IT Crowd, with a sprinkle of The Day Today charm.
As a child, I was watching tv late at night and flipped to adult swim at the very moment they walked in to see the eye monster having sex with the man, followed by the birth. I then turned off the tv and it terrifyingly stayed in my memory for many years as my only exposure to it. It wasn’t until I heard about it as an adult that I learned it was a comedy and watched the whole thing. Now it is one of my favorite tv shows ever.
This is great to see! I’ve been watching this show for almost 2 decades. It never stops being funny! I tell people about it, but sadly I don’t think anyone ever checks it out. The other show I like just as much is the first season of The Mighty Boosh. The Song One Track Lover is so awesome.
My highschool years saw me and my pals in TEARS watching this show. Bloody hilarious - the wit, the gags, the silliness, and excellent writing. And it was the first time I saw Matt Berry and Howard Moon from Mighty Boosh...such an amazing show. Perfect....just a perfect show.
From the states, I loved the show when it aired on Adult Swim way back and everyone I've managed to sit down to watch this... creation is still quoting it over a decade later. It's even inspired some character writing. It's amazing but I guess it's good it got to bow out with 6 episodes and in top form.
Theres so much in the "serious parody" that is spot on. I was sad that Alice Lowe wasnt in everything so to see her cast in Black Mirrors Bandersnatch was beautifully done. Richard Ayoyade is of course a tower of brilliance - the heavy synth including the beautiful credits - the level of cleverness put into the Easter Eggs -:damn and the rap- how could you forget the rap ? Plus Mighty Boosh Fielding & Barrett showing up. If you have this combined with Man to Man with Dean Lerner , its even more gold. A golden period of comedy that will not come again - this , Boosh , Nighty Nighty , Nathan Barley - i could go on ❤
I used to really enjoy Nathan Barley. Unfortunately the way it basically used the media as the butt of the joke meant it was always on thin ice. Some really great comic actors in that.
One gag I never noticed until this clip show was Dr. Rick says he got attacked by a cordless iron, then a clearly visible cord is on the iron as it floats by.
There's a book out now that extends the Marenghiverse: Garth Marenghi's TerrorTome. Doesn't quite hit the comedic heights of the series, but it's mildly amusing disposable reading. Funny how Darkplace and Police Squad! both lasted only 6 episodes. When something is too smart, it must be purged.
There's a sister series to this called Man to Man with Dean Learner, a late night chat show from Dean Learner's 'playboy mansion' with Matthew Holness as a different guest each episode. If you like Darkplace you'll probably love that too.
For years, I legitimately thought this was an Adult Swim production. It has all the energy and vibe of one. Cue my astonishment at realizing that it was a real, actual show that aired on the BBC. Just hilarious to me. _Definitely_ need to add this to my collection!
Great video. But i wanted to add a little information you missed , it wasn’t written these actors it was written by these actors. It was actually based on two stage show they did for the Edinburgh festival. Hope you check out Man to Man With Dean Learner too
As a parody this is top of the pile. They made the behind-the-scenes at the time of the series. I was watching the BBC Exorcist behind-the-scenes (made 40 years after the release) and you can see how spot on GMD is in regards to style and reminisce- hilarious (not Exorcist, that remains scary).
I absolutely love this show and everyone involved with it. I remember back in the day when I saw that Adult Swim starting airing it I was so happy. Also that song is fucking incredible, Matt Berry is an amazing musician and does a bunch of collabs with people I love like Josh Homme
Bro, I downloaded this series as a torrent like 5 years ago without ever hearing about it. I found this and Psychoville randomly and they are fucking awesome.
The funniest joke on Darkplace is the one that is never said out loud. That joke is Garth Marenghi's total lack of self~awareness. His massive ego wont let him acknowledge that he is a terrible writer and his 80s show was cancelled because it was dreadful
I watched it when it aired and it wasnt broadcast again for like 10 or 15 years. Was on some 11pm, weekend edgy comedy slot, so you're the type of person thats up late but not going out. Glad I got the DVD, but you can stream it now and im glad it's gotten more popular.
This humor is the kind of humor that should NOT become a standard because it devalues it so much. I as a person living in the 2023 did not see the shows this series is parodying and so I can't enjoy it as much as others can. This is why some things should not be mass produced.
I've had this on DVD for years and tried to show friends and family it but they just don't get it. I've always loved the bike chase scene. I think there is a audio book of this on spotify. Green Wing was good at the time from Channel 4 too I think and both still crack me up.
Dark place was one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. They ran the series in the US on Adult Swim along with episodes of look around you. It blew my mind at the time.
The one thing that got me interested in this random ass show is the fact that they use Guns with Blanks in such a effectively comedic way that i couldn't ignore it.
I live in the states and this only is available on region 2 DVD, so what did I do? I bought a region 2 dvd player specifically for this DVD set. Bonus on the DVD is it also comes with Man on Man with Dean Learner. The episode where Matt Holness plays Merriman Weir was insane because despite the sketch being funny, it showcased Holness' actual guitar and vocal capabilities. Matt is a treasure ❤
Man i love this show, absolute masterpiece, I absolutely love One track Lover genuinely good tune I went to order a copy on dvd after watching this and prices begin at £35 for a second hand copy. Thats the signs of a true cult classic
This show is genius and should be watched by literally everyone. Haven't watched it in a while. Might get the dvd's out :) Also, I live very near to 'Garage Marenghi', and it makes me laugh every time I pass by.
I absolutely LOVE Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Easily the best thing I've ever seen on UK TV Also, the song One Track Lover is an absolute banger, and should have been properly released. I downloaded it and have it knocking around in a few playlists, as it's actually quality.
If you're a fan of British comedy and haven't seen this you will need to watch it twice as practically every bit part is played by someone now much more famous in their own right and first viewing will be you mainly saying, "wait... is that...?"
It was just aired at 11pm so not many people saw it is all, like alot of shows back then, if you blinked you missed them. Now The Mighty Boosh now that's an under rated show, the biggest phenomenon that captured soo much attention, huge views and where are the countless littered reaction video's on UA-cam? Countless analysis video's? Nothing. That's a truely underrated TV show, Dark Place was popular to all those that had seen it but I see more recognition for this show than Boosh which is honestly just strange 🤔
"Since I first came to Darkplace I was strictly solo. You're the first real buddy that I ever had. Buuut if you and he wish to be best buddies again, I won't stand in your way!"

I don't think that's a rule. There's a ton of great comedy which is 'bad on purpose' and is fantastic.

Fantastic hahahaha
That funeral scene with all the gun was chaotic, and goofy, that made me really crack up, I’ll definitely be checking this out!
The best part of "One Track Lover"'s visuals for me is Thornton fumbling with the ice. It's just a perfect touch.
So subtle
Now he's knocking on BOTH DOORS!

I get the same response and I’m also a fan of the mighty boosh. Truly Garth was ahead of its time
Instant fucking classic I have a special place in my heart for this show. I can't sing its praises enough.

It is the "modern day" Police Squad. Just need the film now!
Was there going to be a movie?

Now The Mighty Boosh now that's an under rated show, the biggest phenomenon that captured soo much attention, huge views and where are the countless littered reaction video's on UA-cam? Countless analysis video's? Nothing. That's a truely underrated TV show, Dark Place was popular to all those that had seen it but I see more recognition for this show than Boosh which is honestly just strange 🤔
I just found this the other day. I will now build an altar so that I might worship Matt Berry appropriately.
The Deviant version is entitled Garth Marenghi's Ringpiece
( not what you thought; it's a Lord of the Rings tribute lol) 👁👁
Which version?
I can also recommend the book, Garth Marenghi’s TerrorTome.
It’s like Nathan Barley, these things are best kept on the low 😉
The fact that it’s a bit crap, much like Acorn Antiques, was the whole reason why I loved the show. Quite brilliant!
Brilliant of you to crop Liz out of the thumbnail.
I agree. One of the single best single series TV comedies.
So good ❤️
Genius show. Underrated
Truly
Masterpiece.
