Garth Marenghi's "Darkplace"
KharBevNor:
Or, if you've got a soundblaster (it may work with other cards as well), get Audacity and set its input mode to 'What U Hear'. Then press record and just play the video on youtube. It will record everything that outputs through your speakers. It's how I get samples for my music. In fact, I can do it for you if you can't work it out.
I fucking LOVE Darkplace. One of the three best British TV comedies of the 00's (The others being The Mighty Boosh and Monkey Dust. I don't think I could rank them). And I say this as probably the biggest fan of cheesy British sci-fi TV on the boards.
What I've never entirely decided is whether Garth Merenghi is supposed to be a pisstake of Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, or all three. There are elements there of all of them I think. The covers of his books (and the sheer number of them) are extremely reminiscent of King. He dresses a lot like Gaiman, and a lot of the actual elements of Darkplace itself could be taken as parodying the TV and film ventures of all three of them.

It's incredible how cheesy media can only be really good or really bad. You can either end up with Evil Aliens, not worth watching for any reason, unless you're paid minumum wage or more to do so, or you can find Darkplace and quit your job and spend all your time watching it because it is so awesome.
Ozymandias:
I'd heard of this vaguely someplace before, but never watched it.
My life feels more complete now that I have. Like a big hole in my body has been filled. Not in a sexual sense, but sort of like that.

If you say that again I will fucking cut you. To quote you back at yourself.
