It’s been ten years now since author, visionary, and dreamweaver Garth Marenghi’s legendary horror TV show, Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace, was rescued from a vault in Peru and broadcast to a largely unappreciative audience.

Or, you know, in the reality we actually inhabit, it’s been ten years since a group of comedians donned 80s costumes and pretended to be aging filmmakers commenting on their own ‘lost’ series. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was a perfect send-up of both trashy low-budget horror and science fiction productions and pompous creators, as a bewigged Matthew Holness straight-facedly explained the unique genius of his horror writing alter ego even as his greatest creation, Dr Rick Dagless M.D., mugged away in the background.

It was a ludicrously high concept show, incorporating both faux documentary footage and a fake 80s TV show, and though it ran for only six episodes, it garnered a devoted cult following. It’s one of those shows that, once seen, you never forget – and never stop quoting, even if no-one else knows what you’re on about.

Although it’s horrifying that it’s really been ten years since Darkplace was on telly, it seems like a good time to take a look at what the cast have been up to since…
