1. Once Upon A Beginning

Thursday 29^th January 2004

Garth Marenghi, the world-famous horror author, introduces his long-lost television project: a haunting medial drama set in Romford. New doctor Liz Asher is tipped off by a psychic cat that there's darkness in Darkplace. So, when a patient mysteriously dies, Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. must scalpel-up and fight The Forces of Evil (which involves attempting to close a standard-sized hell-mouth beneath Romford). Contains mild swearing and the naked top-half of a man.

3. Skipper The Eye Child

Thursday 12^th February 2004

The past is stirring in the halls of Darkplace, and for Dr. Rick Dagless M.D., that means Trouble. With a capital T (the rest of the letters lowercase). Something long dead has been reborn on 'B' Wing. Is it a macabre sign, a terrible warning, or a sacred gift from the gods? What's certain is that it is a giant eye. A journey of discovery lies ahead for both of them... Garth Marenghi, the Titan of Terror, introduces this lyrical episode of his hospital horror drama.

6. The Creeping Moss From The Shores Of Shuggoth

Thursday 4^th March 2004

Garth Marenghi, Romford's Crown Prince of Darkness, introduces the last episode in his hospital-based horror series. Dr. Sanchez falls in love with a patient infected with cosmic broccoli, but when it threatens to spread Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. is forced to intervene. Trouble is, love is blind, and the only eye Sanchez has open is at the end of a trouser snake. Can Dagless save his buddy and the world? (Yes, he can.)
