Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - Test Footage

Test footage from the show Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Extra from the DVD.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is a British dark comedy show made for Channel 4 by Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade. Darkplace is presented as a lost classic: a television series produced in the 1980s, though never broadcast at the time. The show parodies numerous aspects of '80s low-budget television, including fashion, special effects, production gaffs, and music.
No copyright infringement intended. All copyright remains under Channel 4. I do not own this show at all. This is the wonderful work of writers and creators Matthew Holness and Richard Ayoade.

Love how Dean's clearly recording his dubs in a completely different room... and obviously not in any kind of studio.

"i just can't believe the temp is dead"
*sounds from hell*

[@chrisoakleyfx]

Honestly that part kills me every time 😂

[@Dowlphin]

_Temp's dead, baby. ... Temp's dead._

It's alright Rick, we'll get another one

I like how a whipped topping appears then disappears from Lucian's bun. Classic. Even in the test footage they created magic.

[@Dowlphin]

I'm wondering whether the director got upset a lot if someone forgot to add the inconsistency. 😄

[@davelordy]

It's the reflection from the end of his stethoscope . . . and there's no one in the show called 'Lucian' . . besides that, I agree ! : )

[@danbanks7930]

It looks like Reid has the same affection for temps as he has for techies... just get another one

[@PotholesInMyLawn]

same tool in the tool belt.

Classic Dagless: "Well, you'd hope".

Super cool to see, but god damn that audio.

[@Pogomix]

Am I watching a different dimension xD

[@thebatmanfan1309]

Nice to see that you're a fellow Darkplace fan Nick!

[@HuplesCat]

ER stole from this series!

[@QuadMochaMatti]

But they just couldn't ever pull it off. Did they ever get to see ER in Peru?

[@InfiniteRhombus]

son of a bitch

[@adgreyx]

Best scene ever created.

[@bobcostas6272]

This is so cool

[@marcuswalters8093]

Hair's better in this version .More authentically 1980's

[@Ciaran55]

thanks for the upload!

[@TaiChiKnees]

That is so disturbing. ROFL!!!

[@jimcameron9848]

Classic Sanchez.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

I haven’t seen this alternative clip. I try to do impressions. Got a bit of a Rick going on. Dean is quite easy. But Matt BeRry’s Todd’s Sanchez. It’s almost like you have to retch to get there: The ‘You and he were buddies…’ and ‘So what happened between you and this Renwick customer’ soliloquies’ are especially difficult technically speaking; ie. in terms of not belching.

Try pronouncing everything like you're doing Shakespeare on stage with no mic. Regardless of the facial expressions you dub it over
