At the BFI + Radio Times TV festival, the writer and star of Sherlock and The League of Gentleman and a vintage horror connoisseur, Mark Gatiss talks to the Radio Times's Alison Graham about growing up with ghost stories, re-vamping Baker Street for a new generation and how his obsession with the grotesque is really just a love for humanity in all its wonky forms.

Mark Gatiss is a national treasure, as both a writer and an actor. Every single character he played in League of Gentlemen was a work of art, as were those played by his fellow actors. For me, that series was on a par with Fawlty Towers in terms of genius comedy writing and its realisation. Thank you Mark.

Cheers for that. Mark Gatiss doesn't do dull interviews apparently.

Marks monologues in the league of gentlemen were heartwarming, heartbreaking and fcking hilarious.

Okey nope Gatiss just became one of my favorite screenwriters for the very reason he collects fossils and wanted to be a paleontologist?! My man, just brilliant, I so wanna see his collection, mine is tiny but I have a pterosaur tooth, my pride and joy.

FREAKS UNITE

Always great to meet a fellow loud and proud Wilkie Collins fan. Begs the question: why doesn't Gatiss adapt the sadly underrated Collins, instead of yet another retelling of Dracula ?

I think it might be too difficult to pitch to the BBC. At the end of the day, he needs money to film a show, and Dracula attracts more viewers.

I’m a massive Wilkie Collins fan as well; it’s almost eerie how many of his interests (Sherlock, Hammer Horror) I share. Freaks unite!
