When the Hellmouth opens beneath Darkplace Hospital in downtown Romford, kiddy doctor, Vietnam veteran and ex-warlock Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. is the only man who can close it. Joined by best buddy Dr. Lucien Sanchez, fiery hospital boss Thornton Reed, and woman Liz Asher, Dagless must fight the forces of Darkness while dealing with the burden of day-to-day admin. From the chilling pen of best-selling horror writer Garth Marenghi comes this lost masterpiece of televisual terror. Dare you enter Garth's Darkplace?
Remember the cheap TV shows of the 80s, with nightmarish special effects, leaky plots, wooden actors and characteristic music? And the recent fashion for nostalgia for this kind of product? So, Darkplace is all very fun to parody. The degree of your fun, of course, depends on the proximity of acquaintance with the object of ridicule.
