Garth Marenghi makes comeback after nearly 20 years
TV critics have described it as a cult classic which launched the careers of a generation of comedians. For nearly 20 years the show Darkplace, which first aired on Channel 4, has been off our screens. But fans of the show remain loyal, and when the fictional star of the programme - Garth Marenghi - played by actor Matthew Holness - announced he was making a comeback in the form of a new horror novel...the internet went wild.

Harriet Gibsone, The Guardian, 5th November 2022Fisherman's Friends The Musical review
The small indie movie Fisherman's Friends became a rather big hit in 2019 and spawned a sequel despite it being rather disparaged by the critical community. You wonder if something similar will happen with this new stage musical, originally made for Hall for Cornwall, because although it feels rather slight in construction and its comedy is mostly tone-death, it seems to be doing a job in delighting those who have already decided they love it before coming through the door. The agnostics may be slightly harder to please.
