Garth Marenghi's Darkplace Episode 4 Part 1

In the 1980s horror writer Garth Marenghi wrote, produced, directed and starred in Darkplace, a groundbreaking series set in a hospital and exploring the depths of the author's imagination. At least that's what Marenghi and his publicist/co-star, Dean Learner, claim in modern-day interviews which both bookend and interrupt the episodes. In fact the show is cheap, chiché'd, full of gaping plot holes and startlingly misogynist. Garth Marenghi is a creation of comedian Matthew Holness, who won a Perrier award with the character at the 2001 Edinburgh festival.

@MrAluminumJacket Pure poetry. The pigeon adds to the horror like a pube on a pipe.

[MrAluminumJacket]

"The moonlight shone down on the place, unhindered. The gnarled parapets jagged upwards, like a bony hand of icy indifference. In the background, there was a pigeon. Who knew how long the place had stood there. Fourty years? Fifty years? Tempest immemorial, i.e. always.  But it was a bad place, that much was certain. A very bad place indeed."

- an excerpt from 'Black Fang', by Garth Marenghi

@beefking69er stop comparing that show to Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. So they're both about hospitals.

Comparing the two shows is like comparing the Lord of the Rings with Breakfast at Tiffany's. So they're both about jewelry.
