Brilliant. All the other comedies in the vote used subtext, which is for cowards.

My life is now complete! If I can make a cheeky request, there are two half-hour DVD extras: Horrificata Illimunita and Darkplace Illuminatum that are free on YouTube :) Not as laugh-out-loud funny as the episodes but well worth a watch. And besides, six weeks just isn't enough Darkplace!

Fantastic news! You are all true Highlanders! (Scotch people.) For first-time voyagers on this dread journey into the dreaded abyss of dread, here's the maestro in his own words: Garth Marenghi was born in the past, graduated from his local comprehensive (now bulldozed) with some O-Levels in subjects. He taught for nine years at his local library reading group before becoming a full-time horror writer. He has published numerous novels of terror (too numerous to list, nay count), over five hundred short stories, and has edited thirty anthologies of his own work, which have all received the Grand Master of Darkdom Award. He wrote, directed and starred in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace for the Peruvian market, which subsequently aired on Channel 4 and has not been repeated due to its radical and polemic content. He is an honorary fellow.

Congrats to you hardcore darkplace peeps for plugging away at the polls and never giving up, even in the dark wintry days of come fly with me. Have to say darkplace left me a bit cold first time around but that was a lovecraftian eternity ago and I look forward to rewatching it greatly. I recently watched a long clip from one episode and it made me laugh very much so I reckon I’ll end up eating my words as I did with spaced and a bunch of other shows that left me cold when I was younger but turned out to be a lot of fun.

Cor! That was a close run with Black Mirror, thank you to the last seven people who voted for Darkplace, I blooming love this show.

Hooray! You're going to love it Josh. It's a hidden gem of British comedy.

...Well, that first episode was brilliant. Jesus, what a heavyweight comedic cast. And Richard Ayoade pedaling on that tricycle in the opening credits always makes me laugh. I'd forgotten how straight Matt Berry plays his role - there are some of the little yodelly, ridiculous vocal flourishes of Douglas and Laszlo but mostly he's just playing it absolutely dead on, blank-eyed.

At last! To all those people who voted, thank you!
