_Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace_ is one of the most groundbreaking television shows of the 1980s. Created by Marenghi, a bestselling author and self-proclaimed dreamweaver, with the assistance of his publisher Dean Learner, _Darkplace_ was originally shown only in Peru, because the show was made with no demand from a network. It was finally aired elsewhere in 2004, during the greatest artistic drought in TV history, with new interviews with cast and crew. _Darkplace_ concerns the exploits of(immensely intelligent, muscular, and compact (like corned beef)) Dr Rick Dagless MD (Marenghi) and his team (Learner, Todd Rivers, and the sadly deceased Madeline Wool) as they serve on the ward of Darkplace Hospital, which has a portal to Hell in the basement. It’s a masterful show by a virtuosic maestro of horror, and a must watch for anyone who has eyes to perceive television, and is notably the source of Rivers‘s hit single “One Track Lover”.
