Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a low-budget parody of a low-budget, 1980s horror television show. In many ways, Darkplace is truer to the form than 80s nostalgia shows such as Stranger Things.
The conceit is that sometime in the early 1980s, hack horror writer Garth Marenghi (who proudly claims to have written more books than he's read) has teamed up with publisher and pornographer Dean Learner to bring Marenghi's dark tales of horror to the screen. What we're watching is not the original series, but rather the DVD re-release, containing the episodes interspersed with modern-day interviews with the cast.
Lots of great people pop up in this series, including The IT Crowd creator Graham Linehan and The Mighty Boosh stars Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt. The series also features Alice Lowe playing actress Madeleine Wool in the role of Dr. Liz Asher. Most recently Lowe was seen as the psychiatrist in the Black Mirror interactive episode, "Bandersnatch."
