Episode 1Darkplace Illuminatum30 min
Marenghi, Learner and Rivers recorded over 200 hours of interviews prior to the 2004 re-release of Darkplace. What follows is a selection of the least angry.
Episode 2The One Scene I Cut30 min
Marenghi saw cutting any scene as an admission of weakness. Several episodes of Darkplace were never broadcast because running times would regularly exceed the 9 hour mark. However, it seems that this next sequence was originally intended for inclusion within the 'Scotch Mist' episode.
Episode 3Easter Egg30 min
A set of videos hidden on the DVD release. The first is a video of Learner introducing "Channel Ladykiss", followed by a video of a Darkplace patient frantically reading Marenghi's novels, followed by a hidden interview with Todd Rivers discussing method acting.
Episode 4Misc. Horrificata Illuminata30 min
Although the following interviews were conducted for the re-release of Darkplace, the respondents' propensity to rant about completely unrelated subjects meant that they were not included in the final shows. However, they form a fascinating insight in to the Mind Marenghi.
Episode 5Pam's Home Movies30 min
Garth's wife, Pam, was regularly on set to make sure that the writer had his morning pie on time. She also brought her film camera, and the following footage paints a delightfully off-guard portrait of the Great Imaginer.
