Mark Gatiss News

[SherlockedCAMPer]

The show as a whole is not my area of interest. I don't mind violence. I watch action flicks as my first choice in movies. I'm more picky about the type of fantasy I watch and too much skin is not really my cup of tea either. (Hence why I wish they would have filmed Irene's scenes in ASIB to imply the lack of clothes instead of show it.)

[Arcadia]

Got it. Me, from what I've heard about it I just think it would be too graphic on several levels to suit me. Which is too bad because fantasy is my favorite genre. Well, was. It seems to me like most fantasy has slipped into horror. :(

[Carol the Dabbler]

... and/or "action." :P (Peter Jackson, I'm talking to you.)

Mark reading his novel The Devil in Amber

And another reading, sadly only a part of it. Apparently I got used to spoken English - I think I can better understand it now. Anyway, is it only me or someone else would call his voice hypnotic?

[Arcadia]

It's only you. :p

 

I don't know if I'd call it hypnotic, but I do like the sound of his voice ... it's very calming.

His voice is very clear voice.

 

I know where Black Sea is.

[J.P.]

Yes, first I thought it is a fantasy name, but yes, it's the real one!

And he will be reading more! Stay tuned!

Mark in Oxford.

Nice. This bit: 

On whether foreshadowing is always deliberate or not, Mark says that sometimes it is and that it's lovely when people notice the efforts you go to (citing the fact that Henry Baskerville nearly shoots himself by placing a gun in his mouth in the Sherlock episode The Hounds of Baskerville as foreshadowing for the way Moriarty kills himself in the same way in The Reichenbach Fall as a deliberate bit of foreshadowing).

Interesting. I would never have put those two incidents together. (Still don't. )

[J.P.]

If you have watched it (it's nothing really new but entertaining) you might have noticed some lines that would sound totally different transcribed onto paper. With SM it's even stronger, because he hardly says things in a simple, plain manner.

[Arcadia]

Which is why I always prefer to watch/hear, rather than read, SM. (Why does that sound vaguely dirty? xd)

Here is a Radio Times article about this:

Hopefully this won't get in the way of filming Sherlock Series 5:

[Arcadia]

I'm pretty sure it already has. :d

[J.P.]

After the other, unconfirmed projects are over.

Definitely would be more eager to see  it if Mark would take the lead. Or maybe they give it to Moff. :P

[Arcadia]

Moffat as Dracula. I'd watch it.

[Van Buren Supernova]

Ha..! I saw the article only today and though maybe this is the time when I know some news before others here? But then smack myself and said it's impossible. And it is :D

 

Moffat as Dracula.

Have there been any curly Dracula before?

I'm not really familiar, remember them all having sleek hair.

Do they use hair product? :p

[Carol the Dabbler]

Wonder if it's possible to slick SM's hair down by using enough grease? Wonder what "enough" would be? Guess that depends on whether that curl is inherent or induced.

A Stab In The Dark: A UKTV Original Crime Podcast with Mark Billingham

 

Nothing really new, maybe beside the statement, that making a SH "origin story" wasn't something they intended from the beginning.

[J.P.]

A longish interview with some important news toward the ending. :D

[Arcadia]

Do you mean the bit about getting married? Because that happened already; must be an old interview.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Could you post an ordinary link to that? (My phone says it doesn't support that plug-in.). Thanks!

[J.P.]

Arcadia, it's not. They are together from 2009, apparently as a Civil Partnership (introduced 2004), while same sex marriage was introduced 2014.

 

PS: Carol, if you qote me, you can see the link, but let's see if this also works:
