Ironically enough, the role of Bainbridge was meant for Creator/RichardAyoade, but Ayoade couldn't get out of his contract to Channel 4 (the channel that aired ''Darkplace''), so Berry stepped in and took the role over.

* ActingForTwo: Likely an in universe example, as Matt Berry voices the cat in the first episode, while Alice Lowe does some of the announcements over the PA. Given the NoBudget nature of ''Darkplace'', it's entirely possible Garth had Todd Rivers and Madeleine Wool double up.

Matthew Holness noted in the same Q&A that the fact that they were shooting on film was an advantage, because they couldn't do endless takes: if they messed up a take, they sometimes obliged to use it in the final show anyway.
