Critics Consensus
The short-lived Garth Marenghi's Dark Place is strangely brilliant, even while buried under its own layers of satire. Read critic reviews

    Get this and watch it with the commentary on, they do it in character and it's like getting a second series it's hilarious

    Totally agree, it's as funny as (if not funnier) than the show! Great series, brilliant laugh!!Random genuine question, is Matt Berry drunk whilst doing this commentary?

    Is that Terrortome?

    Also worth checking out his alter-ego folk singer "Merriman Weir", though that was from the "Man to Man with Dean Learner" era.

    I watch this with some lovely chicken.

    His Terrortome book is a laugh-out-loud read (i haven't heard the audio version). He also has another book, Incarcerat, out on Halloween and is doing another tour to promote it!

    Agree; I think what's needed now is some sort of crowd funding to make into a screen version. So BBC etc. won't fund it cos they're too woke, but perhaps people power could.
