Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

2004 TV-MA 30m 8.5

This parody series is an unearthed 80s horror/drama, complete with poor production values, awful dialogue and hilarious violence. The series is set in a Hospital in Romford, which is situated over the gates of Hell.

In the 1980s horror writer Garth Marenghi wrote, directed and starred in a TV series so cutting edge that TV channels refused to show it. It's now the early 2000s and the series is finally being released. Set in Darkplace Hospital, Marenghi plays Dr Rick Dagless, a caring yet unconventional doctor. His colleagues are Drs Lucien Sanchez and Liz Asher and boss is Thornton Reed. Together they deal with some bizarre, paranormal cases.
