I watched all six episodes on DVD last night. Seen them a million times. Know all the quotes. Laugh my ass off every time as if it's the first time hearing them. And now, i have to go and watch all six again...
@NoMoreNever It is Darkplace, a 2000s show spoofing 80s Sci-fi. They went to incredible lengths to make it seem almost like it actually was from the 80s.
This "Doctor Sanchez" character strikes me as the kind of doctor who makes house visits for cash, and takes yer bumm temperature with his thick middle right finger
GARTH MARENGI'S DARKPLACE was not an 80s show. It was a 2000s show that was carefully crafted to look like a bad Brit scifi show from the 80s. Apparently it worked.
Czech neck was a terrible affliction, I remember a boy on our street who suffered another side effect, he cried all the water from his body it was awful!
this series is from the 80's no matter what people say. just because it wasn't made during the 80's doesn't mean it's not from the 80's. It's called artistic liberty.
i think the person below has had too much of a bysterbile substance known as cake. It clearly has altered his perception of time. The show above was not in existence in the eighties It's Garth Marenghi's Darkplace which was, as stated by others, made in the early 2000' s and was supposed to look like the time your talking about. Lay off the cake or it will damage yor Shatners bassoon beyond repair.
It wasn't *made* in the 2000s. It was *reaired* in the 2000s, or rather aired for the first time in the UK in the 2000s (it had previously only been aired during the 80s in Peru)
For your information a relative of mine was deeply affected by cake (even suffering the classic symptoms known as "czech neck") and I can assure you it is no laughing matter.
@Max404s I don't know who this Matt Berry customer is that you're talking about, so I'm not going to dispute whether or not you went to school with him, but I hardly think that's relevant here, as the actor in the clip is clearly none other than Todd Rivers, one of the most sought-after character actors of the 1980s.
@cthulhu11111111 I doubt it, seen as the actor was born in 1974, making him between 6 or 16 at the time. I doubt it was in the eighties because he looks about 30 here.
how could the actor be born in 1974?! are you serious. That would make him about 10 years old when Darkplace was shot. Quite clearly he's a bit older than that! I would say about 30.
@sicksniper96 Nah, gonna have to go with cthulhu11111111 on this one. I think you'll find that this show was made in the 80's and was all set to become the most significant televisual event since Quantum Leap (and I do not say that lightly) when the producers were gypped by the powers that be.
@sicksniper96 He was cracking a joke. That's what Richard Ayoade (in character as Dean Lerner) said about "Darkplace" when they were making it "in the 80s." You should probably watch the series.
@strydom666 they got the video quality down though it really is a dead ringer for something around that time. You know, like how u can tell something was from the 90s when you saw it?
@JonnyJ125 It definitely is recent, as all the actors in it look the same today as they did then, not to mention it's no secret it was filmed in the early 00s.
No, he's right. Family Guy IS shit compared to this show....at least it is *now*. The first four or so season of FG were amazing, since then it's the same 5 or 6 jokes over and over again. "Stewie is gay", "God is stupid", "Atheists rule", "Conservatives suck", etc. Now, I can laugh at conservatives and christians with the best of 'em, but even the funniest joke in the world gets old after a while. And this is certainly not the funniest joke in the world.
everyone having to point out this was made in 2004 is actually retarded and failed to completely miss the joke of both the title and the comments that are going along with it. You guys really suck
