Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
2004 TV show
A British horror parody television series that satirizes 1980s low-budget television dramas. Created by Richard Ayoade and Matthew Holness, the show presents itself as a 'lost' series from the 1980s, complete with intentionally poor production values, wooden acting, and absurd plotlines. The series follows Dr. Rick Dagless, M.D., played by Holness, as he battles supernatural forces in Darkplace Hospital. Interspersed with present-day interviews of the cast reflecting on the show's production, it offers a unique blend of comedy and nostalgia.
