Greetings traveller. Who am I? Perhap you have met me twixt sleep and wake, in the penumbra of uncertainty you call “unconsciousness”. Or perhaps you’ve met me at a book signing. I’m Garth Marenghi, horror author. My business is chill, impure and simple.
18 years ago this long hidden masterpiece landed on our screens, decades after its creation by the imagineers and pioneers into the darker reaches of TV. It should have changed the world, but cowards feared its release would open our minds to the possibilities that would upend society.
Effortlessly combining action, realistic medical drama and the supernatural, along with music and state of the art special effects, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace holds up today. Look at this still from what many people have called the greatest chase scene since Bullitt. Impressive? You bet.
Channel 4 unearthed this gem, this piece of artistic genius, this six part TV show in 2004 and it can still be seen on their deeply mediocre streaming service to this day with commentary and interviews with the cast and the visionary dreamweaver who created it. The cast except Madeleine Wool, of course, who disappeared many years ago.
And also:
Is this the best comedy of the last two decades?
Perhap.

an american friend of mine looked last year and the consensus was that there isn't a way outside of piracy
well boo
I looked it up and it is free on Prime Video, too
well boo
oh shit
what a rollercoaster of emotions
i was counting that as piracy
i mean i personally don't give a shit and regularly extol the virtues of running your own nas but technically
You should. And anyone watching it should under no circumstances put it on "in the background", which is a thing kids and the morally lax apparently do sometimes with TV shows. Every gesture and line and edit is deliberate and beautiful.

In rollercoaster tycoon, you might want guests to get the heck out. Killing them is problematic because it hurts the park's rating, but what if there was a way to murder them without then penalty?
And that way is dropping them to their doom by having ride exits go to a huge drop that gets ride of them
i get it for like, american tv shows where there's 20+ hour long episodes in a season but you've no excuse to not pay full attention to the likes of Darkplace, Derry Girls, Father Ted, Black Books et al
I've spent longer trying to pick something on Netflix than half a season of British comedy
I keep meaning to give Black Books a try.
