He was. I too have been waiting for a DVD, or another series, or just some mention of the show which hasn't happened in some time.

[Lord Nibbler]

Back in April "Garth" posted a message on his website about the DVD:

The news on a second season of Darkplace is thus. There is no news. Sadly the rest of the tapes of mein meisterwerk are likely to remain chez Marenghi unless the world makes some kind of evolutionary leap and catches up with my vision. And, between you, me and the proverbial, I think I might have taped over one of them with an episode of The Thornbirds. Tant pis, the digital versatile disc is nearing completion and will feature the following terrifying treatlets:

    Commentaries to all episodes

    Deleted scenes

    Test footage

    Original ‘One Track Lover’ Single (Extended Version)

    Over an hour of extra talking heads

    Photo galleries

    Original radio ads

    Original storyboards and storyboard to scene comparisons

    Plus more

In short, it will render all previous DVDs redundant. (And shut down those shameless profiteering sons of bitches on E-bay.) I will let you know the release date as soon as I have it or pretty soon after I have it.

This thread really did just take a turn for the better.

'My ass is grass, and Wontons got a lawnmower'.

I'm still waiting on the DVD too. Someone e-mail Channel 4.

Dawn draws into nightfall

Yonder stars shine bright

You can be my baby

I hope that is alright

"Daddy don't forget me"

I haven't but you're dead

You have a little brother now

And one day we'll all meet

In Valhalla

Bwahahahahahahahaha

Thank you.

I used to love it when Dean Learner would pick up the phone, then slam it down in a rage. He was fucking awesome.

That scene with the priest was fantastic, although all in all that was the best episode so far. Kate Winslet was good as well, and the bits with the women with cerebal pausy (I butchered the spelling, I know) were great.

I don't get home from work until it's finished.

Gervais is the funniest guy on the planet imo.

Anyone else watch the last episode of this?

If this series up until that point had disappointed you, then the last episode saves the whole lot and makes it much more enjoyable.

Also, I on the topic of Ross Kemp over acting in his episode? I though thats what made his character so funny throughout it. I giggled throughout his scenes because I found his body language and his delivery to be funny.

[therockbox]

Patrick Stewart was awesome, his script sounded good.

[stokeriño]

I lost track of time and didn't realise until 9:40, so I missed it.

I wanted to see Patrick Stewart...

Some of the episodes were ok, but Jackson's and Stewart's were hilarious at times. I'd be interested to see the second series (which I heard they are making, I think...)

[Darloboy]

I think the whole series has been great, I thought Les Dennis' episode was the best, but the real star of the show has got to be Stephen Merchant. His agent character is hilarious.

[FunkAsPuck]

Second series was confirmed before the first even started airing, thats how confident the BBC were.

Also, anyone else enjoy the blatently obvious references to the Office throughout hte episode?

Yeah, I thought that was quite nice. Would have been better with one, subtle reference. The voice he did for the 'boss' character was nothing like Brent, though.

The boss sounded kinda like the bloke that Brent took the piss of at the staff meeting...the wanking claw bloke.
