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.
