C4 orders a spin-off from Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.

Fans of the much-overlooked Channel 4 comedy Garth Marenghi's Darkplace should rejoice - there's a follow-up in the works.

Dean Learner, who was Garth's manager, publisher and publicity agent, is to host his own spoof chat show.

Six episodes of the show are due to be recorded for Channel 4 next month, and the blurb for free audience tickets reads:

"Nightclub owner, restauranter, publisher, international playboy - Dean Learner is a one-man brand.

"After his co-funded Channel 4 television hit Garth Marenghi's Darkplace he now invites you into his luxury penthouse flat for an all-new, entertaining and immensely stylish TV talk show.

"Man to Man with Dean Learner will feature all Dean's remaining celebrity friends, as well as plenty of live music and fine fish-dish cuisine in a show that reeks of class - but not fish!"

The shows, starring Richard Ayoade, are to be recorded in Teddington studios in Middlesex.

Good news . . . kinda. Sounds very much like I'm Alan Partridge ("a-ha"). Hopefully there'll be a nice little spin on it.

Look forward to him having Garth on.

It will probably come out around the same time as the Darkplace DVD, and maybe they will repeat old series. Great news.

cant wait for the dark place dvd. it was a great show.

I heard about this show, called 'deano after dark' at the end of last summer and have been waiting for it ever since. Good to hear its still goingto be made. They might change the title, i dont know, but i quite like it.

Ok, this was the only topic I could find on Man to Man so I thought I'd revive it....does anyone know when it's on? I can't find anything about it even on the channel4 site. I don't want to miss it and feel it may be on soonishly!!!

why wont they make anutha series of darkplace!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
