If anyone can get Matt to bring back Darkplace, it’s the Peruvians.

Delighted to stumble upon this interview. The whole Darkplace idea is delicious, exquisite, perfection, too-big-for-itself (in a Ralph Rauschenberg sense). What I love here is to discover that Matthew Holness’ voice is quite different to both Garth’s and Rick’s. I’ve just bought the DVD on Amazon, having only seen Garth Marenghi on KZbin. Absolutely GENIUS. Rick Dagless’ corridor run is just too much 😅.

cool

Alice is perfect in anything she does. from Noble and Silver, to the Mighty Boosh she's an original.

RIP Gareth Marengi and his dark place

THE WARTUH THE WARTUH THE WARTUH

Thanks for posting this! I wondered about that fly....

So where was Madelene Wool buried???!!!

Can the pilot that they mention be seen anywhere?

still one of my favourite shows ever.

Madeline’s come back from the dead!

And now Garth's back with an audiobook and novel. Go out and pre-order it folks!

Literally just here to find out what Matthew Holness actually sounds like

This is incredible, thanks so much for filming this!

14:28 - oh f*ck me, that's sublime. They actually *admit* that the whole freaking thing is the Throw It In trope. "Using film means you can't, you haven't got lots of takes that you can do. But that was quite good for this because we thought, 'Great! If we p!ss up the take it's great, we just use it!" You've got two takes, that's it, if you bugger out, there goes it. So a lot of that stuff's *genuine!"*

It’s time to bring back the greats: Darkplace The IT Crowd Black Books

i liked darkplace but not at all keen on footlights comedy monopoly. bring back working class comics ffs.

Maggots?..........Maggots!..........Maggots, maggots, maggots.....................................................................................................................................................................................................maggots.

Did Holness fall out with Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry? The only comedy people who seem to be on good terms with him are Mitchell & Webb.

21,000 for a year of teaching English in Japan? Hahaha.. no.

I will work with this man someday.

MORE DARKPLACE!

When you see them talking so earnestly about "Dark Place" it feels like another layer of parody.

This interview is old now, and Darkplace was already old when they did this interview. I just discovered the show last week ☹ I need more Matt Holness and Alice Lowe! I need interviews with Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade! It's not fair! And how come none of the people at this thing asked about the ADR? Most of the questions were superficial. "Why Romford?" Really?!

I though Madeleine Wool was dead!

At first I thought Garth was a parody of Stephen King, but the more I watched, his arrogance reminded me of Harlan Ellison more than anybody else.

Can Netflix or Hulu please fucking fund all these second series ideas please?!

It's good to see her alive and well, instead of missing, presumed dead.

I hear she's dead now. Lol.

Why doesn't Richard & Matt Berry want to work with him anymore?

Garth is one of the few people I know who has written more books then he's read.

I had to buy a region free DVD player so I could watch those DVDs whenever I wanted.

I always thought Garth was a pastiche of James Herbert hence the black shirt and leather sport coat.

Brilliant video

Thanks very much for posting. Darkplace just randomly popped into my head about half an hour ago for no discernible reason. I just remembered it and had a need to watch some! Such a great series, real genius.

What would be horribly funny is if Matt made a kickstarter as Garth to put together the 2nd season.

Considering that Stephen King thought he was better than Kubrick at adapting his own novels that he began to direct his own films, Garth does have a bit of King in his character. The paperback writer who writes pure shlock yet thinks he's writing pure gold.

thanks so much for recording this

Todd & Dean play the same character in The Mighty Boosh ( Like I need to inform you Dream Weavers of this fact, I'm Northern so I can't shut up ), Richard Bainbridge has a legendary moustache. I love the Chopper MK1 & MK2 chase with Dean playing Thornton coming in on a classic Grifter. I used to live in Glasgow & I ain't going back. This series is pure genius that will live in my heart forever, the Boosh will too. Regards, David from Manchester, England, UK. Shift your arse Liz

Garth & the Boosh, now we're talking would be up there with Quantum leap & I don't say that lightly. Regards, David from Manchester, England, UK.

I can watch Garth Marenghi Dark place daily, if you haven't watched it with the commentary on yet then you're in for a treat. Brilliant. I love everything about this series. Regards, David from Manchester, England, UK

Madeleine Wool was gorgeous.

I always thought Brian Lumley was an inspiration for Garth Merenghi.

Alice Lowe and Matt Holness are underrated af. Cheers for the vid!

It's too bad that Ayoade or Berry couldn't make an appearance. It's weird to me that Holness didn't at least have a cameo on "The IT Crowd" - he was a great IT guy in "Bruiser"

Thanks for recording/sharing this!

PLEASE DO THIS AGAIN!

Bring back DARKPLACE. We need it now more than ever. No 2nd series, but series No. 908 of BIG BROTHER and I´M A CELEBRITY....?

Alice so suits blonde!

Thanks for uploading. Was great to watch, and a little sad that it sounds like it's done.
