Garth Marenghi

Last in series of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace tonight, apparently features
cosmic broccoli.

Don't miss....

 

No, its crap, and pushes NYPD Blue back to stupid times...

 

Of course it's crap - if it wasn't crap what would be the point, eh?

Well, yes and no. I think Ch4 has just decided to sink NYPD Blue,
having made viewers wait two bloody years between series. They
actually seem to be doing it with all their "big" imports - ER, Six
Feet Under and Frasier all seem to have been dumped into late slots
this season. Bastards. The only hope is that Ch5 buy them...

 

Whether this is true of C4, I don't know, but certainly there
are various new series that start off on BBC3 before they
make it to BBC2 as it encourages people to switch to
digital. You may find that ER, NYPDB etc. are being moved
to E4 for the same reason.

 

Probably more so they can get people watching them at peak time on E4.

 

A twisted sense of what their audience wants.

Well, that or a twisted audience.

 

It must be similar reasons in that people may be encouraged to sit
through something they wouldn't normally watch to wait for something
that they do want to watch. It's all about getting more exposure.

I mean, I haven't seen any of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, and
probably wouldn't go out of my way to, but if it preceeded
something that I did want to see then there's every chance I may
catch the end. If it intrigues then I may well watch the next
episode. Sticking the mainstream shows on after will mean
there's a greater chance of the more obscure stuff being seen.

 

Unfortunatly not, if they did I would be happy as they normally have
multiple days they screen on

 

I've asked them
