Garth Marenghi's Darkplace on SCIFI!

[tecnowraith]

Ok who is watching this show, My god this is really bad yet very good at spoofing. Yes that's right it is a spoof. Here is the plot summary from IMBD:

In the 1980s horror writer Garth Marenghi wrote, produced, directed and starred in Darkplace, a groundbreaking series set in a hospital and exploring the depths of the author's imagination. At least that's what Marenghi and his publicist/co-star, Dean Learner, claim in modern-day interviews which both bookend and interrupt the episodes. In fact the show is cheap, chiché'd, full of gaping plot holes and startlingly misogynist. Garth Marenghi is a creation of comedian Matthew Holness, who won a Perrier award with the character at the 2001 Edinburgh festival.

I saw this a couple of times when it aired in the UK. It made me chuckle a few times but mostly it seemed to be tryign too hard to be funny and "out there" and ended up seeming desperate.

I was too busy watching Anubis watching his grass grow.

Think I saw this guy on Jonathon Ross in character, he wasn't funny... at all.
