Garth Marenghi's Darkplace
FROM THE BEST-SELLING MASTER OF DARKNESS
Created by Richard Ayoade, Matthew Holness, Billy Brown
On Channel 4
A gleefully absurd parody of 1980s horror and medical drama that mines comedy from the collision between overwrought genre conventions and mundane hospital administration.
When the Hellmouth opens beneath Darkplace Hospital in downtown Romford, kiddy doctor, Vietnam veteran and ex-warlock Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. is the only man who can close it. Joined by best buddy Dr. Lucien Sanchez, fiery hospital boss Thornton Reed, and woman Liz Asher, Dagless must fight the forces of Darkness while dealing with the burden of day-to-day admin. From the chilling pen of best-selling horror writer Garth Marenghi comes this lost masterpiece of televisual terror. Dare you enter Garth's Darkplace?
