The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode

Remixed by The Beatmasters, the song was written by Richard West and Colin Angus. Caused a wave of controversy with what was considered a bleak endorsement of recreational drug use "E's are good, E's are good". Despite a Radio 1 ban, still hit #1!

@RikkiAlexander It's like when people say "it's such-and-such on acid". They've not got a clue what they're on about.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004). They only made six episodes!

It's a show within a show, as horror author Garth Marenghi introduces clips from his cancelled 1980s Channel 4 supernatural drama Darkplace, intercut with actor interviews and readings from Garth's many, many, many books.

There's explosions, gunplay, psychic abilities, portals from hell, slow motion running along corridors, pathos, romance and more explosions - plus musings on the nature of fiction, the craft of writing and some of the funniest line delivery ever seen on TV.

It's endless fun, endlessly quotable ("I know authors who use subtext and they're all cowards!") and pitch perfect as a mockumentary and homage to '80s action horror drama. Matthew Holness, Matt Berry, Richard Ayoade and Alice Lowe turn in excellent performances.

Matthew Holness is now writing and touring as Garth Marenghi, showing a new generation his Darkplace, so do check your local bookshop, horror magazine or internet forum ("if that's how you choose to live your life") for details.
