Richard Castle? Is that like the Garth Marenghi of romance?

For the record, I think Graham Linehan is a veritable comedic genius. Big Train is one of the greatest sketch shows ever created, and Father Ted one of the best sitcoms. Most of my friends adore IT Crowd too, and we have very similar taste when it comes to comedy. Also, I think Richard Ayoade is hilarious, particularly in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. Really, all signs point to me loving the programme; but I don't.
I will, however, attempt to watch it again.


He co-wrote Father Ted and had better actors to work with. I'm not a fan of Richard Ayoade - he seems to try bloody hard in this but can't help feeling someone else could play Moss with far less effort and get a lot more out of the role.

The other thing about the acting quality - the supporting actors they get just seem really average. Again, because I love mentioning it, Seinfeld always had a knack of casting amazing support who gave stormingly funny performances and many of them became hugely memorable. I've never seen a sitcom match this. Here it's like the three main characters are supposed to carry it all off on their own - it's too big a burden IMO.

yep, garth marenghi alright. one of the most underrated programmes i've ever watched. every single episode (they only did one series) is 'cry with laughter' funny. you can watch the first episode on the sift here.

That man kicking the dog, my friends, is Matthew Holness, the comedic genius behind Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. One more example of how ugly British men are so much funnier than American comedians.

HEY! Us American men can be ugly too!

Great video. Heard alot of good stuff about Garth Marenghi's Darkplace after seeing Snuff Box.
Excellent rap aswell by the bloke who played Moz in The IT Crowd
