"Garth Meringis DarkPlace anyone?"

OK, I have only watched a few episodes. The first I was unsure - the second I was rolling around in bed giggling my ass off at the voice of the one with the afro?

Now this completely new strand of comedy can either flop or make it. What are your opinions?


Its probably a little like marmite - you either love it or you hate it.

I have heard it be compared to the likes of other unique comedy hit Bo selecta.

Personally I think the style and techniques used are intelligent indeed. The dubbing of voices making it tacky - slow mo... the chats with the Author and gay looking actors!

The cheap way they have done it is funny, to me. The use of models for the darkplace and helicopters.

Anyway I skimmed ever so briefly to check a post hadnt already been created on this topic so please

discuss!

I love ya all lilGinge!

It's mostly excellent, but the "talking heads" style interviews are a bit out of place, and a bit too "Officey". But Dr Lucian Sanchez has the best voice of any character ever: "My Aunt lives in Scotland. She says it's quite nice", "Good joke, Dag!", "Well that's the price you pay for acting like a cheap assshole", "I was up 'til 2 playing the keyboard".

There's a load of threads further down - it's been on for a few months.

So soon? There were six episodes or so. And they're generally repeated on E4 on Wednesdays, I think, in case you missed it.

I liked it. "Wanton'll have my a#se for grass, and he's got a lawnmower".

And Sanch's song was hilarious as well.

LAST???

Is it over so soon?

He he he the one with the scots made me laugh and think of Azul

It was really good, only I never saw the last episode.
