Mock 80's cross between Diagnosis Murder and the X Files.
Garth Marenghi's Darkplace is the most significant televisual event since Quantum Leap.
Garth Marenghi's "Darkplace" was originally filmed in the 1980s and has since earned a cult reputation as one of the most terrifying and radical television programmes ever made. Despite this, none of the episodes have ever been seen before now (although the show enjoyed a brief run in Peru).
Darkplace was scripted and directed by the best-selling horror writer Garth Marenghi, known to thousands as the author of such classic chillers as The Ooze (can water die?), Afterbirth (a mutated placenta attacks Bristol) and Black Fang (where rats learn to drive). In addition, Marenghi starred as the show's lead character, Dr Rick Dagless, a maverick doctor battling against the evil forces lurking beneath a hospital in Romford.
Even now, Garth warns that the show, an effort to "radicalise men's minds", may prove "too subversive, too dangerous, too damn scary." The wait for the most famous 'lost' project in horror goes on, but not for much longer...
