Mes Amis
Bring a candle... So who the fuck were you? Raise your hands, you miserable sods! Admit your sins. Who were the fools who didn't watch the amazing, wonderful, absolutely pant-wettingly scary Darkplace? I mean, Garth Marhenghi is the master of the macabre, a dream-weaver, a fabulist... And Darkplaces deserves to come back to TV... We need more than six episodes... I need more Sanj, more Dagless, more of Dean Learner's Oscar Worthy acting... Channel fucking four, get off your arses! Quit thinking you're the new channel five. Porn has its place, as does reality TV but stuff like Darkplaces, its special, its unique, its fantabulous... Well, at least there's a DVD coming soon... I don't want to mourn this show... if CH4 don't want it, surely someone must have a place for the most fabulously subversive supernatural drama ever made...
Oh really, Marjorie, I can't believe you haven't read the book... Philip, pass the Merlot, will you?... I have nothing against Dan Brown. He's made his money. And I haven't read his books. But by Christ, the people who buy them irritate me... I know normal people do read them (Beccy for one) but the ones who really piss me off are all the poseurs who want to get in on the controversy and discuss it over wine because it makes them sound sophisticated... They probably drink fucking Merlot, too! But anyway, at last the real secret of the Da Vinci Code has been revealed... And does it come as a surprise those bastards among us jealous of Brown's success? Well, we'd like to think not...
Anyway, mes amis, its back to the real world for now. Until next time
Au Revoir

I just procured a - ahem - DVD of Darkplace, and have to say it was one of the best comedies in recent years. Unfortunately it was shown at a stupid fuckin' time, so I only caught one every now and then. But Scotch Mist is a classic.
Sadly, Ray, Channel fucking 4 (as they are officially known) don't show anything at a decent time. They used to be my gave channel showing so many damn fine shows and now, now they ruin every decent show they get and even let Channel 5 beat them in the watchability stakes. But Darkplace - - ahhh, what a show! I remember the monkey-centric episode with its subtle social commentary... absolute genius (and I loved that bike chase!)
