The constant joke many miss is that Garth Merenghi's writing is entirely based on a life watching American tv shows. Everyone in Dark Place use American phrases, American terms and American medical jargon which are completely out of place with British accents and all carry guns for no reason at all.
-
The irony is, the show got cancelled because it was actually very expensive to produce. They even shot it on 35mm to get that authentic 80s look, rather than faking it.
-
I love how one of the episodes had a photo of a Golden Retriever at the end with the following: "In memory of Skipper. Killed by Wasps."
-
The running gag where they say goodbye at the end of a phone calls is probably a reaction to the common trope in US media where, for dramatic effect, characters often just end a call without saying goodbye.
-
“I know plenty of writers who use subtext, and they’re cowards.” That’s the line that sold me on watching this.

"I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards." - D.B. Weiss & David Benioff, 2019

Thornton Reed hanging up a phone only to immediately pick it back up to sheepishly say "goodbye" is genuinely one of the funniest performances ever committed to film.
-
This used to come on Adult Swim like 10 years ago, masterpiece.
-
“He has to act like a man who cannot act.” So you’re saying he’s a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude?
-
Just finished this wonderful show. I think one of my favorite running jokes is that the music is composed based on melodies originally whistled by Garth Marenghi. Just imagining what that process was like makes me laugh so much.
-
Garth is the most significant artist I've worked with and I've worked with Lulu. And four other people. So we're talking creme de la creme.
-
“I’m not Jesus Christ. I’ve come to accept that now”

"Listen, I’m a writer. If I want to start a sentence with a full stop, I will." - Garth Marenghi
-
As a Scottish person the line that got me was; 'I'm afraid I can't offer you any salt with that', as he hands a Scottish ghost stereotype some shortbread
-
The dvd commentary is a must see for any fan of this show. Its like having a whole second series.
-
“I don’t believe that animals should be harmed in the making of a film. That’s why I feel really bad about that cat we killed.” This show is gd brilliant. Someone gave me a bootleg about 10 years ago and I’ve watched it regularly since.

don’t forget shrektober with cosmonaut picture show
-
I love that this show made it across the pond. It's even underrated in Britain
-
I still sing the song they had to myself all the time. "I'm a one track lover, on a 2-way lane."

"They tried all the positions: on top, doggy and normal..... then a hell beast ate them." -the prolific Garth Marenghi
