Garth Merenghi's Dark Place | Witchy Woman Wittering | Channel 4

[@robotrix]

Love the little touches.... They show his feet....someone in high heels and stockings walks by...they switch back up to a head shot and it's a guy walking by (?).... Dag takes the door handle with one hand out in the hallway, when he's in the room he's opening it with the other hand.... Lots of work went into this to make it so entertainingly "shitty"

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

Why does a child have a room in the hospital when it's his dad who is sick? There's so many layers here.

[@Trylk1138]

Omg I never twigged that!

[@GoblinXXX]

"I'm not Jesus Christ. I've come to accept that, now."

[@RamadaArtist]

I love that, for all the levels deep they go with Richard Ayoade's character, he just ends up playing Richard Ayoade... so he basically is just putting on the truth.

[@darthkahn45]

I love how rick just walks out through the 4th wall. It's the little things like that that make this so amazing.

[@amorembalming]

So right mate. Written with such attention.

[@judyhopps9380]

2:43.... Dagless just walked into the corner of the office just to set up the self-worshipping dialogue of Sanch and Thornton on the desk giving card puns. OMG I love this show. The door is behind him so he'd just be there looking at an office plant or something O.o

[@judyhopps9380]

0:13 just noticed another one - the male doctor wearing heels due to botched editing

[@chrisbcritter]

@@judyhopps9380 i NEVER noticed that - this show is genius past meta

[@kabalofthebloodyspoon]

“I’ll lend you money for a coffee” 🤣🤣🤣 Dagless is a true gentleman

[@hero2342]

"Maybe if everyone who'd ever been close to you had died, you'd be sarcastic too..." god i love this show haha

[@falstaffswims]

"they work you too hard here. they should pay you a hero's wage."

[@gilliebrand]

I have watched this series over, and over. Brilliant writing, and brilliant acting.

[@QuannanHade]

The scene splice at 2:07 is brilliant.

[@spencerraney4979]

"So, what happened between you and this Renwick customeeeeeer?"

[@saturn1returns]

Theatre.

[@SpruceCampbell]

This kastowmuhh was strictly sowlow.

[@BossySwan]

You and he were *buddies* weren’t you

[@fi6fo]

This has got to be one of the best comedies ever!!! Makes me cry laughing no matter how many times I watch it.

[@YCt37689]

Love the part about lending her money for coffee, when of course the break room coffee is free. It's a running joke that they keep "lending" Liz money for coffee.

[@vickidyer4246]

"A quick rinse round the key areas" hahahaha

[@MrStarDoor]

"and you're a great doctah." Fuckin gets me everytime

[@MrNinjaFish]

It's like being in a robotic prison watching this. "Yes mum, I'll watch Dark Place again and remember all of the lines"

[@magnificentjosh]

6 episodes doesn't necessarily mean failure over here, especially when this was made, which was a few years ago now.

[@Corruptedd]

this show's simplicity reveals brilliance in open minded revelations

[@thegodpopper8934]

Garth Marenghi is the epitome of comedy excellence

[@PavarottiAardvark]

that kid was the best actor in the episode....

[@StophenTropak]

Maybe a blessing in disguise, kept it short and sweet.

[@Posit_Zero_Blue]

"...nevertakedrugs."

[@rndompersn3426]

I like how you can see in Thorntons eye a white light, as if he is reading off cue card.

[@Mcpowerpack]

"he's a good buddy, but we sometimes have punch-ups." XD

[@KKAkuoku]

I could feel the delusion of Garth Marenghi the moment he arrived on screen as Dagless

[@56postoffice]

I remember this show. So, so funny. It's where I first see Richard Ayoade just before he went big with *"The IT Crowd."*

[@qwellen7521]

Garth Merenghi's Dark Place was what Doug Walkers DEMO REEL was trying to be but failed horribly.

[@Enzo012]

Yes a quick rinse around the key areas isn't as good as a shower but it's a lot better than nothing if you're pushed for time I get that.

[@cinektheorc]

there is a tendency to cut great shows while keeping mindless shit like all the soaps and bigbrother on air. it is very puzzling.

[@yellowblanka6058]

Because everything has to appeal to every demographic possible or they won't finance it.

[@elisabethschmerzler963]

Wasn’t it also pretty expensive to make since they used a bunch more affects and technology to make it look from the 80s? That’s I least what I heard for why they cut it..

[@ichosethishandle]

@@elisabethschmerzler963 that's what I heard, hence the next series (Man to Man with Dean Learner) had such a low cost format

[@coolbeans4u]

I love Dark Place but I also feel like one series was enough. I think the premise would have started to run a bit thin if it had gone on for a second. I don't think I would remember it as fondly if it had been milked to death like so many other shows/franchises.

[@lordanzu8763]

@@coolbeans4u I concur with that. I'd like to see a better ending myself, but another season of episodes seems a bit excessive.

[@pendafen7405]

What is so funny about Thornton is that he seems to be the head of a hospital, but not a doctor or medical practitioner of any sort himself. He acts more like a frazzled middle-manager of a factory. Is Darkplace even on the NHS?

[@mrcritical6751]

He used to be a surgeon according to the final episode, but yeah we never actually see him do anything medical related, he acts like he’s the chief in a police drama

[@luckyswine]

"-son of a bitch -" There isn't a wasted second on this show.

[@AussieR1]

"It's witchy woman wittering, and it needs snuffing out at the wick"

[@thegameeeeeee8666]

I never knew this show existed

[@stupidintellect90]

Haha...I first watched this when I was 13 and it confused me so much, I was like 'are these actors or are they just really bad actors?' Will need to watch it again.

[@moniker2.0]

Why this didn't take off with the Brits amazes me. This was a hilarious series, great concept, but it ended too soon.

[@crofters93]

I'm going to dress up as skipper the eyeball for Halloween, and hopefully spread the word of dark place!

[@pennydesouza]

SO. DAMN. GOOD.

[@SimonSaysHypno]

More Darkplace please. It's been way too long

[@SConn]

"Come on. I'll lend you money for a coffee."

[@adscott27]

Sounds more like "I'll need your money"

[@πλούσιομετάλλιο]

Every branch to below, stunner

[@cheekyegg]

tough gig!

[@NormanArches]

"Maybe if everyone who'd ever been close to you had died, you'd be sarcastic, too"

[@chubbypapaya]

yes, that makes sense...

[@mbm2355]

Jim! *LOOOOOOONG STEP*

[@koolobeans]

Never take drugs.....

[@Cenotaff]

I've always, just known.

[@DareYouNotToClick1]

and sometimes there is.

[@ursie1986]

channel 4, get these guys together with the Acorn Antiques lot. Go on, cross some boundaries, work out some unworkable contracts, just get me Dark Place Antiques - NOW. yes I'll hold.

[@NormanArches]

Check out some of the Snuff Box clips like the Boyfriend montage, the 'restaurant' clip and the guitar lesson. They're hilarious as well. I found that by chance. I had no idea they even made it.

[@profhannigan]

Qu'est que la diff is brilliant

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

Dean's dialogue in this scene is probably the best written in the show yet also the worst delivery (which says something).

[@pwd1134]

I have to watch this with subtitles. English is also my first language.

[@FailSonOfAnarchy]

Like how the shots of Thornton Reed are framed worse than the other characters' shots.

[@moodini99]

I didn't mean to fall on my fanny, Dr Daglas.

[@courageousginger3892]

A quick rinse round the key areas eh...

[@PocusUK]

lol that male doctor's wearing high heels?

[@alecbg919]

@NormanArches Yes that makes sense

[@fauxmosmexual]

a real horror sheeeooowwww

[@rtenewsontwo]

"never take drugs"

[@ForestKicks]

2:32 - "Make sure your methods are orthodox...... cksx"

[@Kelvostrass]

It's so awkward it's great xD

[@trudatrumar6133]

Ohhh. First time i watched it I heared "ive just earned money for your coffee". As in hes alluding to the paycheck gap. Would fit in nice with the humor.

[@kp6007]

And I’m Bo Derek!!

[@PompeyLegend2009]

@aikicin not forgetting shit like "Campus"

[@πλούσιομετάλλιο-ι6ν]

Whatever happened toborgs wig davinci Is swig? Stron(so) G

[@TheWaynos73]

Dean: that child had dead eyes. eyes like a fish.

[@cheekyegg]

@aikicin quality not quantitity tho :)

[@Wezzipooh]

never take drugs

[@NormanArches]

I'm such a sad fanboy I'm inadvertently repeating quotes other people have just posted. If it wasn't so funny I'd hate myself for it. Anyway, never take drugs.

[@Caexs]

stevo hasnt seen this show and it upsets me

[@Leoniedisnaelikeliars]

😁😁😁

Quick rinse round the key areas..😂😂😂

[@abbaszaidi8371]

I really want to like this video. But there’s 999 likes right now. Would be a shame to spoil the irony- or the inverted number of the beast that guards the portal to hell. Romford

[@ursie1986]

every comment on here reads in Garth's voice in my head.

[@reasonabledoubt6908]

Maybe if everyone close to you had died, you'd be sarcastic too..😂😂😂

[@booshgrrl]

@RobotPoliceman oh my gos i know ahaha

[@bozos373]

IT CROWD Jr

[@mrfitz96]

True fact: House is completely based on Dag.

[@stupidintellect90]

Who else things Garth looks a little like Gerard Way. If you've never heard of him, then google his name!

[@mpksabres1]

I've thought the same thing! I've never seen them together at the same place at the same time!

[@judeskii]

@PompeyLegend2009 agreed. not liking the new c4 comedies like sirens. bring back dark place!!!

[@stud105]

Never take drugs

[@SC-vj4wv]

That child had a coke habit.

[@patrickmike2524]

Lend you money for a coffee. Hahah

[@giddeo]

What the crap is this and how did I get here?

[@Cephlin]

+giddeo it's pure genius

[@austinallegropresents.7850]

I am Austin Allegro and I love this show. Almost as funny as I am :-D

[@moodini99]

Fair enough. Your videos are prety funny. Especially the rubber bands

Wait, I have more things to say.
