Garth Marenghi's Dark Place

(1/4) > >>

Tinjessla:
So who else has seen this amazingly funny show? Love it? Loathe it? It was shown on Channel 4 a few years ago but a lot of people missed it (including myself) due to it hardly being advertised/dodgy time schedules.

Fortunately, my boyfriend's brother sent him a DVD with the episodes on and I saw it for the first time last week and promptly fell in love with it.

For anyone who hasn't seen it, it's about the oh-so-hilarious supernatural goings on in a hospital. It's based around the stories of a Stephen King-esque writer called Garth Marenghi who takes his work very seriously. The series itself is made to look as if it's been made in 80's, so a lot of the comedy comes from the cheap production values and (purposely) wooden acting.

LiterSize:
*sigh* between this and Doctor Who, we don't get a lot here in the states!

Kai:
GOD. I HATE YOU BRITAIN. STOP HAVING ALL THE GOOD TELEVISION. IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT OUR POPULOUS DECIDES IT WANTS "SKATING WITH CELEBRITIES".



Seriously.

Inlander:
Ooh!  It's just about to start screening in Australia for the first time next Monday.  I'm looking forward to it.  There's an "interview" with Garth Marenghi in this week's Sydney Morning Herald T.V. guide.

I seem to remember I loved the first episode and thought it went kindof downhill from there but still had moments of genius...  If you get the chance to see his stage show it is *incredible*, he was still touring it in the UK a year or two ago (they actually did let me take advantage of their 2-for-1 offer too:).
