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 😅.

You should listen to the new Garth Marenghi's Books. (Terrortomb and incarnate) Matthew Holness does the narration for all characters, its outrageous.

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!"*

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.

Holness was in an episode of Toast of London playing an arrogant American director, so almost certainly not when it comes to Berry anyway.

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?!

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.
@czerro15 жыл бұрын
He's definitely 90 percent Stephen King, but I think Holness' answer is probably accurate. There is just a certain amount of sorta absurd pretentiousness in serious Horror and Hard Sci-Fi writers all around. The opening credits are a parody of Ray Bradbury's Theater and Twilight Zone, for example.

I always saw the Garth character as being a criticism of any creative narcissists who think highly of themselves, and that the King-like connection is superficial to a certain degree. Garth is more an amalgamation of pretentiousness from a broad spectrum rather than just one or two particular people.
