Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - Pam's Home Movies

Footage taken during the filming of the show 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 love how Dean says Garth is directing and then starts giving instructions himself. Just like how in the interview he casually says that Garth only gives him rough drafts for the books and he pads them out for length.

I love how you can't tell if they're in character or not

murder on set, 3:45 _this changes everything_

[@DoctorKandosii]

I nearly pissed myself at "can you not point that at me?" because I've seen something happen on set just like that :)

Merciless goading of the onset primates of Shuggoth. And are they hair extensions on Garth and Todd? And does the merch include the Dagless Short-fit Bathrobe?

Can anybody hear what's being said in the background at 2:46 onwards?

[@Boster17503]

I can only understand the last part. Going something like: I KNOW I KNOW. (later on) THIS IS MY. PROGRAM. IF I WANT TO THANK YOU MY FRIEND, I WOULD THANK YOU.

It sounds like they caught an off-camera argument about something.

I'd love to see genuine outtakes from the filming of this series (not in-character).

[@tracymurray6840]

A couple do look genuine, in the beginning, but the scene at the hospital bar during the final episode, looks like a combination of in character and real behind the scenes footage.
