garth marenghi darkplace be another original and hilarious comedy show that could only have be make in britain . it share a lot of it random humour and imaginative story line with the mighty boosh . appropriately and noel fielding and julian barratt have guest appearance here and the latter of which steal every single scene he in . the whole cast be amazing and though . from matthew holness a the ridiculously narcissistic title character and matt berry ( who might be a bit of a one trick pony and but really give the performance of his life on this show ) and the ever so underrated richard ayoade and who also direct and co write the whole thing ( which kind of make him the real life garth marenghi and come to think of it ) . you would not see such great bad act anywhere else . the show make fun of stephen king like horror writer and cheaply make detective and hospital and horror series all at the same time . what come out be a weird mixture of doctor cop who run around a cursed hospital with gun try to deal with all sort of spooky occurrence and creepy creature ( while have to deal with the burden of daily admin ) . garth marenghi himself call it flat out and ball to the wall horror . every single line and every bad editing cut and every cheap costume be a big laugh . from the music to the hair to the stupid story line and the show be dead on in it observation of a typical weekly tv series from the late 70 and early 80 . unfortunately and this kind of humour do not seem to resonate too well with a mass audience and so another series be rather unlikely . that too bad and because i be sure they could have come up with another set of six fantastic episode . a it be and the show be a hidden gem for those who get it and will become even more of a cult favourite over the next few year .
