Garth Marenghi, Dean Learner and Todd Rivers are interviewed about working on Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Extra from the DVD.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a British dark comedy show made for Channel 4 by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade. Darkplace is presented as a lost classic: a television series produced in the 1980s, though never broadcast at the time. The show parodies numerous aspects of '80s low-budget television, including fashion, special effects, production gaffs, and music.
No copyright infringement intended. All copyright remains under Channel 4. I do not own this show at all. This is the wonderful work of writers and creators Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade.

"I've heard someone refer to it as a harbor. That seems too ornate." "My Mother, God rest her... I mean, she's alive, but let's make sure God helps her get some rest..." "I am personally capable of controlling a car no matter what level of intoxication I'm up to. That's a gift I have. At the moment, the law denies me from exercising that gift." Dean is so hilarious.

Garth and Dean's sections of this are funny of course but Todd Rivers's sections are really astonishing, in that they are so believable. Like not only could you see a washed up more traditional actor saying these things about acting but to me at least they kind of make sense? And then he delivers the "You and he were... buddies" line and it utterly shatters everything. Bravo.

The genuis of GMDP is that it was a series within a series. Absolutely worked perfectly to have these interviews. If you look at 'I'm Alan Partridge' in the context of the actual characters narrative per episode, it never worked because it wasn't fly on the wall. This really is a special DVD because the interviews and the narrative over the action is totally relevant to the actors as they are now with their changed perspective looking into the past. Total one off in that respect and dare I say 'genius' again!

christschinwon totally agree, the commentary and interviews actually make me laugh more than the episodes (which are still brilliant) it's great that other people find it so genius, it's the comedy that I've struggled most to explain why I like it so much which makes it very special to me.

You can't really generalize though, saying you "like comedy" is kind of like saying "I like movies", or music, or art, there are multiple genres of comedy, and of course individual tastes. This is definitely niche comedy, but I like it a lot personally.
