Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Episode 6 Part 3

[TheDowntown86]

Why are the Brits so great? This was terrific....there should be a LOT more episodes!

[squall600]

4:39 everything that learner has said is really sadly coming true

[BlueFox284]

Even though this series only lasted 6 episodes, it had more humor than most shows can muster in 3 to 4 seasons. . . And unlike Hollywood, they weren't even trying that hard.

Let's face it- The balls to the wall horror that is Garth Marenghi's Darkplace was far beyond the understanding of the current feeble minded society. Too much, too soon. Mankind just wasn't ready for it.

[RotaryPoweredRX]

I always get a little sad watching this episode because there aren't any more to watch after this :(

[wildsterlingbill]

Why was this show dropped?  It's terrific.

[NORTHERNKONFLIKT]

in association with dean learner

[freebearride]

steven king and clive barker dean koontz man these guys need to take a lesson from this horror master or just bow out gracefully

[danieldrhhall]

He's a good kid. You're going to have to keep him off the smack though or this'll keep happening.

[robbaq]

The cook's made it... just. And now he's going to boil Linda... Or he... could... steam her.

[EmilDur1945]

it's nice that they used cheap film , if it was HD it would have made the scenary less scary. it would haved look like american HD not funny crap.

[EmilDur1945]

you guys need a wind catcher

[LocustaVampa]

what a genius

[jechichi]

LOL! so they couldnt even film it they had to use polaroids! so lame! this show is sooooooo cheap! goddamn british cant write drama at all. the acting is lame so r the special FX. learn from us americans britain.... this is not good drama

[asugar]

@jechichi you clearly get the joke.

[DrAardvarkian]

@jechichi Sweet Cthulhu, you're an idiot. How the fuck did you miss the joke?

[RadialSkid]

@DrAardvarkian

You guys do know jechichi is just winding you up, right?

[DrAardvarkian]

@RadialSkid

Judging from his comment history, He's either a dry humour genius, or a full on fuckwit.

[jella11]

@DrAardvarkian

Nobody is that much of a fuckwit.. He's clearly having a go..

[jella11]

@DrAardvarkian

He's not even American lol

[AtticusStount]

This series is so funny that it's a health hazard.

[34wp23mj]

i love how they put one track lover in the credits, awesome show, sucks that it was stoped so abruptly

[osnad]

"She's all yours, guys." - AHAHAHAHAHA!

[claushouse]

"they tried all the positions: on top, doggy, and normal"

[SuperSaiyan4Jared]

and so ends a super hilarious and great show. first episode i saw was the scotch mist and i instantly fell in love with this show. i want more.

[chumshot1]

@Rita3500 I know!! I just started watching this show on Adult Swim-- it's so great :D

[Rita3500]

It sucks that they only made six episodes. T.T

[goatshredder]

Truly Matt Berry is the son of God

[whowantsabighug]

they shouldve had sanchez kill himself but they bring him back in later episodes

[iCarb0n]

he stops before he says "wait" rofl. funny acting ;D

[Obltzs]

I love that at 3:24 Thornton has a bandage on his hand from screwing something up in surgery.

[Ciaran55]

haha, at 3:04 Dag waits before Sanchez says his line ....

that Linda ... mmm

[mythros1]

stay tuned for the next episode about a mutated broccoli penis on the loose. lol, i can see it now miracle grow and a donut on the top of a crispy cream. they genetically engineer a japanese beetle to eat it and it kills everyone.

[lordstarfish]

Thanks a million & ten for putting these up!

[AndrewSpriter]

@lordstarfish that means you can backtrack ten 'thanks' and still have completely thanked him

[Ke1raak]

That guys voice... is awesome

[biglinfamily]

my ass is grass and he's got a lawnmower

[raimaskae]

"With this show, I wanted to make people laugh... and cry... and shit themselves at the same time."

[chrisbaldwin123]

wonton will be all over me like tits in a wind tunnel

[jimmydiedyesterday]

He loves wind. And he loves the sound of things tinkling.

[PhillyDickinson]

I don't ask for much. I just hope that I've changed the way you think about life.

[melvinceltic]

he's a good kid........you'll have to keep him off the smack though or this'll keep happening

[TheEpicFilmCo]

Lol this is awesome. Just watched the entire series today, anyone know if there gonna make any more?

[ArtfulDawdger]

There was a spinoff and I think they were talking about a movie, but I think for the most part its finished.

[pofwiwice]

what was the spinoff called?

[ArtfulDawdger]

man to man with dean learner. There are two eps up on yt I believe.

[Spoonful91]

This series is BRILLIANT!

[joellyshooshoo]

One tracker lover is a well good song

[torgosassistant]

The way I look at life has been changed indeed.

[TTBSFilms]

So sad its the last one. But so happy they made five others. Best show of all time.

[bazzabaz]

I've just watched all 6 episodes in two days and I had forgotten how brilliant and underrated it is, from a time when Channel 4 made good tv programmes. Sadly not anymore.

[glebber]

this is my fave episodeeee!

:P

[elshiple]

literacy, numeracy; the 3 L's are in decline. Brilliant.

[ccampbell800]

Need I say more... need I say more... ...

[conk123]

SO SO SO SO SO SO SO FUCKING GOOD!

[lazyandunemployed]

1:55. Patient dies, "she's all yours, guys"

the canteen employees wheel away the patient rather than the morgue crew!

[golfpro020591]

lol yeh but when the chefs take her away, stephen merchant is there but he died in episode 2 lol

[littlefirestarter]

Sanchez said "He'll make it...just but the chickens off"

[golfpro020591]

son of a bitch...

[mrbuch]

You and he were... BUDDIES. Weren't yoooou?

[synthwerk]

He loved the wind and he loved the sound of tinkling.

[KrisMayeaux]

the show wasn't really made in the 80's . garth marenghi is really matthew holness and dean lerner is richard ayoade.

[KrisMayeaux]

and there is really only 6 episodes there is just a lot of fake backstory put out to promote it. i hope they make more

[firekind1980]

you can blame big brother for killing channel 4 and this show

[tygrl]

I just realised something... Julian IS the Priestman!

[hawkthewalk]

something about the dreamcatcher exchange cracks me up every time.

[railroadwino]

Someone needs to start a petition to bring this show back

[Poopsmith01]

rarely do videos merit a comment, but this is the greatest show in history.

[LordMoriya]

It's a crying shame they only made 6 episodes.

They should make a movie or something...

[spotlitkiss]

1.26 - how the hell can he say that line and not crack up?

[grds67]

this cod have been big 5 sesons esoly it makes me wanu cry this ius one of the best serys ive ever had the plesher of waching i wonder of garth mrendys still alive i rely want to meet this man

[spotlitkiss]

5.45 encapsulates darkplace for me.

adieu my favorite show, adieu.

[pmurph019]

Reading.. Literacy.. Numeracy.

The 3 L's hahaha.

No Dr. Sanchez, you need not say anymore. Ha!

[martinmerrywinkle]

to call american humour 'lame' is being a little narrow minded. Some of the most horrific, unfunny comedy shows I've seen are british. Think 'my family', or 'two pints of lager'. Nonetheless, when british humour is given creative freedom, it can become a classic show. Like the office, or this. oh, and only having a short run can add to the wonder of a show.

[JohnnyZenith]

Spot on with everything you've said.

[princesstamika]

Wow, it's to hear that! There have been great, classy and intelligent American comedy shows- the problem is that they have all been canceled before anyone got to see them. Arrested Development is the worst recent example I can think of right off the top of my head.

[johnm7491]

I hope they make a Second Series of Darkplace.

[simonjeste]

of course it would be amazing, however it's been, what, over 25 years since they first did the show? And who would play Liz (R.I.P.) and also, I hear that Dean Learner has long since sold the garage in which they filmed the original series.

[TimNorman99]

They said they made 40 episodes or something, so they could just release the "unreleased" ones...damn this gets confusing.

[lilricho24]

Are there only 6 eps?

[firekind1980]

yes. typical of channel 4 now that channel 4 is owned by big brother

[Ccs1989]

Oh man, these 6 episodes were some of the greatest things ever. The guy who plays Dean Learner is definitely one of my favorite comedy actors.

[crispy1337]

thats richard ayoade, hes the writter and director aswell.

awesome dude.

[7lartceps]

"He love`s the sound of tinkling"who doesn`t?

[wrexscum20]

I have NEVER felt the need to comment on youtube before now, but the comment about an 'american version' COMPELLED me to.

a 'yank twist' would just ruin it.. take a look at the office... butchered!

america has their own style which works great on their shows.. but this so obviously british through and through,

and a second series would spoil the magic of this.. it'san awesome one off. and should stay that way.

now i will go back to non-commentary youtube viewing.

[wdswithoutworth]

It's so easy to create a one-note parody of something. And an American series or even another series might actually push it to the point where it did just become lifeless.

As it is, you can tell they still wanted to make something good. And succeeded.

[penguinworm]

That's actually a dream catcher with a wind chime attached to it.

[matzahpudding]

I would love to see an American version of this show. Longer episodes, long seasons, same deadpan sense of humor but with a Yank twist.

[AlpinKirkonen]

Without a doubt the dumbest idea ive ever heard.

[matzahpudding]

How so? British TV hasn't the resources to give this brilliant concept the time and money it deserves, so I say we let our trans-Atlantic friends take a crack at it.

[AlpinKirkonen]

America copies all these once off classic shows, gives them far too much exposure, adds their lame sense of humour to it, and ruins the entire franchize.

And then Australia being America's bitch will probably make our own version as well.

The reason Darkplace is so awesome is because there's only 6 classic episodes, which leaves you wanting more. If you get more you'll get bored of it and stop watching.

[matzahpudding]

Calling the American SOH "lame" is childish and erroneous. Yes, some of their comedy shows are terrifically unfunny, but so are many British ones - and when an American show is funny, it's completely hilarious.

And, dude, if all shows that last more than 6 half-hour episodes bore you then maybe you should get checked out for ADD.

[AlpinKirkonen]

When an American show is funny, it's funny. When it's hilarious, it's hilarious ;)

America copies all these classic foreign TV shows, adds their sense of humour to it and just ruins the entire thing. If something is funny in a British version, why not just enjoy the British version?

And the second season to most shows like this is usually a complete fail. The magic would have gone and the jokes would sound the same, there would be a very slim chance of a second season doing well.

[Rilyn666]

well said! the Americans even tried to do their own version of Red Dwarf which was an EPIC FAILURE....

[napalmnacey]

You fuckmonkey! It's supposed to look cheap!

[spotlitkiss]

GUYS - sign the petition for ANOTHER SERIES.

google 'savedarkplace' and click on first result - it takes 30 secs to sign the petition. i just did it. they only have 8000 signatures - and yet look at how many people have seen this video alone!!

[napalmnacey]

No. I want Richard Ayoade to keep doing The IT Crowd.

[spotlitkiss]

errrrrr... he can do both. *confused*

[wdswithoutworth]

No mention of Matt Berry?

[playerthe2nd]

well that was proper fuckin genius.

[8Black8Rabbit8]

Well that was wonderful, pity there's only six episodes

anyway thanks Mondonitis for putting them on :]

[MeltingWindow]

"You and he were...buddies. Weren't you? Need I say more. Need I say more..." Just genius.

[Br4ntburz]

He's a good kid, get him off the smack though or It'll happen again.

[yaras1]

why dont you get a husband try and get some stability in your life, bahaha

[Currow20]

Was it only 6 episode made? They were very funny, two thumbs up. and rarely give two thumbs up.

[PadraicNerdfighter]

It was only six- we have "poor to average" viewing figures to thank for that.

[Oscar301]

sexiest piece of broccoli i've ever seen.

...and please, great god of tv and programme making:

BRING BACK DARKPLACE FOR ANOTHER SERIES!!!

[calorus]

Yessir. You wouldn't need to be told to eat your greens twice.

-> Chuckle Guffaw Giggle.

[Ahem/Apologies]

[willfreedo]

There's an online petition for there to be a 2nd season. I wanted to put the link but Youtube won't let me, even by writing (dot) everywhere XD

Just google "savedarkplace", click the first result, and it's on the bar to the left.

[Ramskill85]

As a horror writer I dont ask for much. I just hope I've changed the way you think about life!

[blitzballer007]

awesome show, 6 episodes of comedy genius.

[lsloci7]

Jesus, been in the gym

[MrTomDHG]

Anyone who didn't cry during that is a robot...and having said that, I know for a fact that a robot would rather rust than to no cry at that episode. And robots don't have hearts. Or tear ducts for that matter. So if you didn't shed a tear (even if it's from your eyes watering because u just watched all 6 episodes in a row in the dark), what is wrong with you? MacGyver cried.

[artistleland]

will there be another season? thanks for posting these! i'm from the USA so we dont' get good tv like this!

[Rathboned]

Nope. Garth Marenghai was created years ago

[SSam3991]

nope. 2005. wikipedia knows all :)

[DukeOfCrittersAmity]

NO. Garth Marenghi (the character) was first seen in the Garth Marenghi's Fright Knight stageshow in 2000. Garth Marenghi's Darkplace was first aired in 2004. It might help if you [a] lrn2read and [b] don't rely solely on wiki as it's far from infallable at the best of times (my info IS from wiki but I checked it on other sites to make sure).

[HowlieThePointless]

i will not rest until ive found you an adequte replacement

[firekind1980]

before big brother poisoned tv, channel 4 would have been behind this show.

[priesteh18]

need i say more

[malekko1]

MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (please)

[musicmanfelipe]

I laughed. And cried. And shit myself at the same time.

[doribluefish]

noooooooooooooooooooooo give us more. 6 episodes is not enough!

[SadScarecrow]

The end?

:(

[Blowme1000]

Very sad. Fact is only a few people can appreciate the brilliant silliness of these shows, and we're just not numerous enough to keep these shows going.

[booshologist]

is there a second series

[Spacecat42]

"Keep him off the smack, or this'll keep happening"

[cavernism]

I love how Garth freezes way before Sanchez says "wait" every single time. Genius!

[TURBODORK2]

[amcklu]

[ragdollaugust]

He loves wind. And he loves the sound of twinkling. And he loves you.

[beshameless]

[livee89]

My favourite show ! :-)

[Aeweb15]

2:19 wierd, Sanchez's head looks like its on backwards

[ibkod]

Berry can hyperextend his elbows.

[insomniactor]

i watched this show once at a friends house under the influence... i felt like my mind was going to explode from overthinking. i was so lost.

[singersam85]

dear god.... i hope there's many season's to come.

[goochcamper]

funniest thing i've seen for a long time. too bad liz died.

[thatsonlyit666]

liz didn't die! LINDA

[MsMayfair]

No, Liz "died", according to the commentary. Everyone was guessing where she was buried. I don't remember which episode it was.

[firesidebenny]

WAIT!

[RedcoatMic24]

Thanks for that lift...

[thebigpolo]

haha only just realised, liz his holdin a basket of fruit n veg for sanchez lol

[karnubawax]

[LSDCoatedBrain]

Definitely the best episode.

[Guynoire11]

lol rolf lol I love this show!

Why did they only make 6 episodes?

[pbsjones]

Gawd, I love this series. I wish there was more, but it might be too rich, like two helpings of rice pudding.

[AbsinSionic]

I beg your pudding?

[jimjamjames82]

With this show i wanted people to laugh and cry... and shit themselves. lolllllll.

[TeaCurryPRODUCTiONZ]

There is more than 6 episodes, you can read this on his main site.

Finally, almost twenty years later, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace returns for its first UK screening. Channel 4 will show six of the fifty or so half-hour episodes, repackaged by Avalon Television and carefully restored and re-mastered by Marenghi himself, along with technical help from Learner and his one-time brother-in-law. Included within the new versions are recent interviews with its key players.
