   It's British and has become something of a cult classic.  I hope you enjoy it (each episode is but 24 minutes long).  As Garth Marenghi would say, "Bon Appetit."

"Welcome, friend. You know, a lot of people say: 'Garth Marenghi? Isn’t he the guy who writes all that horror crap?' Well, good luck to you, you’re an idiot. Because my books always say something, even if it’s just something simple like: 'Don’t genetically engineer crabs to be as big as men', there's always a message or a theme. When I wrote, directed, and starred in Garth Marenghi's Darkplace back in the 1980s, I gave every episode a theme -- even when we were running out of time, or I was really tired" (Garth Marenghi).

	Oh, and by the way, some of you will recognise that a certain doctor from Darkplace also played a certain Doctor in Black Mirror's Bandersnatch (Alice Lowe as Dr. Liz Asher and Dr. Haynes). Edited by Logan - February 09 2019 at 14:13

	If you haven't seen this series, it is available on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EkN8WtFTpE From wikipedia (potential spoilers): 1. "Once Upon a Beginning" 29 January 2004 New doctor Liz Asher arrives at Darkplace Hospital, where a mysterious cat portends disaster. Dr. Rick Dagless, M.D., must act in time to prevent unspeakable evil from leaking out from a portal to Hellmouth under Darkplace Hospital. Guest starring Julian Barratt. 2. "Hell Hath Fury" 5 February 2004 At Darkplace Hospital lunch is delayed and objects begin flying around. At first suspicion falls on the hospital's temporary clerical assistant, but Dagless is determined to find out the truth. Guest starring Stephen Merchant. 3. "Skipper the Eyechild" 12 February 2004 Somewhere on the wards of Darkplace Hospital, a man gives birth to a giant eyeball which brings out paternal instincts in Dagless, still grieving for the loss of his half-human, half-grasshopper son. However, the eyeball could be a potential killer. Guest starring Graham Linehan. 4. "The Apes of Wrath" 19 February 2004 A mysterious illness spreads like a particularly virulent disease through the wards of Darkplace, causing doctors and patients to revert to an earlier genetic state. Dagless must stop it before he too becomes a primate. Guest starring Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. 5. "Scotch Mist" 26 February 2004 A Scottish mist descends on Darkplace and Dagless has to act fast to prevent all the English people in the hospital from grave danger. Guest starting Paul King. 6. "The Creeping Moss from the Shores of Shuggoth" 3 March 2004 Dr. Sanchez's life is in danger from a patient with an extraterrestrial broccoli infection. Dagless must save both his friend, and the world. Guest starring Julian Barratt and Graham Linehan. For those who have seen it bbut not the following, I do recommend Garth Marenghi's Darkplace: Darkplace Illuminatum and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace - Horrificata Illuminata, as well as Man to Man with Dean Learner . I love them all, but I'll give a vote to Scotch Mist as I just said "Och mon" to my son.
