With the 30th aniversery of chanel 4s first showing of this ground breaking tv sf and Horror event.
Can big finish bring this back?
Aparently Matt Berry does a very good impersonation of the shows star.
Todd Rivers
While I'm sure that garth himself could drag himself from his art to bring back this classic.
What do you think?
Just imagine the extras.
Anyone who says that this wasn't on in the 1980s and is a parody from the 2000 is a liar and will be fed to the beast in the basement

It was very weird and funny from what I can remember, was there an episode in a big, dark hospital?

They were mostly set in and around the hospital.
What do you mean... hilarious.
They were cutting edge horror.

80's horror television and part soap opera. Garth Marenghi is a fictional horror author making a tv show with his manager Dean. Set at Darkplace Hospital, Garth plays Dr. Dagless who always carries a gun and tries to solve supernatural mysteries.

I genuinely love Darkplace. A huge fan! Took years to get a release on DVD for what I consider to be one of the best, most creative comedy series Channel 4 have ever produced!
The problem with an audio drama would be the fact that the series played to the low budget productions of the 80's, which translated very well on TV. On audio I'm not entirely sure it would work quite as well being sound only and it would have to sound fairly awful to keep the charm of the TV series. I would definitely do it if a good script was written!

Im just wondering how Big Finish would deal with the fact the female lead vanished some time in the 90's

Indeed...
2 valid points.
1. I suspect that big finish have some experience of sf show's with suspect visual fx... (takes cover)
2... tricky. Maybe toby hadoke could do an extra where he tracks her down .
And you could always.... deep breath... re cast.

Some viable options there. Although i'd only do the recast if Hadoke cant find her or god forbid gets lost himself
