Dark place

For this post i have decided to give everyone a small in sight into one of the greatest spoofs of all time. The show is called Darkplace and is a mick take of a 70's/80's TV drama starring Garth Marenghi. In order to give you a better understanding of the show I have included this clip from the show:


So what then is so amazing about this particular spoof? Well other than the fact that it is amazingly random and yet still fits in with the conventions of a 70's/80's TV drama, every single aspect of this programme is a spoof. For exmple if you were to look into who "garth Marenghi" is you would expect to find information about an author, a film maker, a producer or an actor. So then if you do not find these things out about Garth Marenghi what do you find? Well you would find out that he does not exist. Every aspect of this programme is made up, the names of the actors, the books Garth claims to have read, the memories of the actors and of course the show itself, it is all one big spoof.
To me this makes the show even better due to the fact that unless you look into the show you do not know that this is made up therefore making the show a huge sucess.
