2. The One Scene I Cut

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.

3. Easter Egg

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.

4. Misc. Horrificata Illuminata

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.

5. Pam's Home Movies

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.

6. My Storyboards

7. Test Footage

Many will not know that Garth Marenghi's Darkplace was shot twice. 43 episodes had been recorded when Dean Learner decided that he didn't like his hair style and demanded everything be re-filmed. All of this material was thought lost until this scene was uncovered in a routine customs and excise investigation at Learner's London mansion.
