Mark Gatiss | Full Q&A | Oxford Union

[@allisongreen1252]

Absolutely love this - I could listen to Mark talk all day. He's very interesting and obviously super smart but also warm and engaging too - his intelligence or fame doesn't make him full of himself

[@degsbabe]

doesn't make him full of himself ? Are you kidding ? Hes all about money spinners.

[@Ghastlyqueer]

@@degsbabe he was joking. Mark is one of the nicest funniest guys out there. You don't even know him personally

[@MrMHughes68]

Mark is such a multi faceted individual and it's always a pleasure to hear him speak. Such a shame that the questions almost entirely focus on Sherlock and Dr Who. I'd love to have heard him talk about his adaptations of MR James and HG Wells and about his love of horror.

[@ishbanyadav]

Ladies and Gentlemen, Mycroft Holmes is here.

[@blastfromthepast8344]

No he's not. And he was only playing Mycroft because he cast himself.

[@robyourtime]

No, it's Les McQueen

[@niamhgara4032]

rob poynter McGann !

[@akikomogami9233]

It's the queen

[@alligatoruk]

Listened to this for a second time as it's so good. Mark is becoming one of my favourite interviewees as he always has an interesting take on things

[@sXeblues]

More of us than you know feel the same way you do, Mr Gatiss, about the current state of the world and, at least stateside, about what passes for politicians these days... It's a very fearsome time indeed. But I'd like to believe that there are more minds, more voices as intelligent and far reaching as your own, that will do everything they can to be the voice of reason. With their votes, with their creativity, with their humor. All gifts you have utilized yourself, to the fullest, I'm sure. That measure of a man, or woman, will always last, beyond whatever fresh hell is consuming the news media of the day. Best wishes in all things, and thank you for so much amazing entertainment.

[@francis5113]

Gosh, I love this man.

[@jennifercox576]

Only just watched this for first time. How truly prophetic were Mark’s comments about his frightening expectations for the future of the world. Amazing insight

[@kevinw712]

Q: "Who in real life would you like to play next?" A: "Theresa May. But I think it's too early for a remake of Nosferatu." (big laugh) But truly, how ironic is that comment with the news we have now of Gatiss & Moffat's next original series? lol (if you haven't heard, they're going to do a new adaptation of Dracula for TV)

[@mrmikeh-nv7cq]

he's a brilliant comedy actor and writer. the characters he played in the league of gentlemen were fucking hilarious!!

[@herrklamm1454]

mr.mike Mr Chinnery 👍🏼

[@LongDistanceCall11]

Both the last question and the last answer were perfect.

[@ysdxxArsenal]

Love him so much

[@benoncle1468]

Still showing off his legs

[@natalya9821]

So nice of you. Thank you.

[@readventurekids]

Always a pleasure to here Mark. Looking forward to the next hour! Thanks for uploading.

[@misssophie6515]

37:07 I love that laugh!

[@tokyo262]

H a h a h a h a

[@TaziH3ro]

Watching this while writing my novel. Good Motivation Mark is will always come back to his stuff it i need a top up on the ol' motivation and inspiration metre. Also Page 1 was easy, page 2 okay. Chapter 7 that's where I'm stuck.

[@rhyle.mp4]

I just love him 😭😭😭 i wish i could see him

[@nellie360]

For me he'll always always be Glenn from Nighty Night.

[@SamYoumansS6R16Y]

I love how that guy with the camera is slowly shuffling along the bench at 5:15! He probably thinking, "You can't see me....I must get a shot of these people in the front row because they're the most exciting thing going on right now..."

[@jamesbromfield9070]

He was great

[@albaproductions9602]

Would love to see Mark play the Dr.

[@yukicantswim8621]

It's Merk Goddess!

[@joyyip9015]

“Doctor who’s my favourite show” Is this like favouritism, is this why Sherlock doesn’t get more seasons than the earth

[@AlexanDrMoskalenko]

Watch your language, Mickey love

[@katiedaly4515]

AlexanDr Moskalenko English!

[@UmerKhan-yj7wk]

Mycroft holmes

[@retnavybrat]

In regards to that question about who the Doctor, Mycroft, and Sherlock would vote for, I don't think Sherlock would even be aware or care that there was an election. I can't think of detailed examples right off the top of my head, but I'm fairly certain there were at least a couple a conversations he had over the course of the series in which he wasn't aware of who well known political figures were.

[@awesomotommy]

Couldn't believe Gatiss was from the next town over!

[@Suryagarden]

From Italy, good night

[@degsbabe]

Lousy questions. Nobody asked about his interest in the horror genre. What could he have done with the stories of Edgar Allan Poe for instance? It was all about the money spinning sherlock and doc who.

[@alons-y5897]

Я без понятия, что он базарит, но это охуенно.

[@4-dman464]

I wonder how much of the audience are screaming nightmare Tories...

[@ingridskaug1389]

Is it possible to not love Mark Gatiss? Just asking for a friend.

[@laurenstewart3781]

2020 here he’s predicted everything being shit lol

[@krushjones6596]

I never knew he was gay but always thought he was a little camp.

[@ggmo3664]

Ah, Yes, Actors . That's what Oxford is producing these days.

[@julianab9903]

Does he talk about Sherlock? Which minute? I'm lazy

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

Ask them Calvin Coolidge's first name. See how many say John.

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

Wrong video. Sorry.

[@ennesshay5040]

22:50 -- HUMAN. WHO could he be referring to ? Jeremy Corbyn by ANY chance ? Tooooooooooooooooo late now. Things can ONLY get...WOR$£ !!! The 4.49 video ''A Decade of the Tories'' by Jonathan Pie [from 1 weak before the 2019 Election]

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

if only he got the job on Who, we would still have a good franchise.......

[@bundescoach3528]

that opening joke did not age well at all

[@Suryagarden]

I thinks is nice speaking but too difficult for my simple english to follow what they say , BYe

[@Suryagarden]

Thanks , what is the argoment?I follow one part but really I don't understand

[@laurentloutrance855]

Less than 1 min and we knew is gay... How people can be surprised? He always make allusion about his homosexuality XD

[@oldgit4260]

The writing of Sherlock towards the end was ludicrous bollocks

[@sratus]

Agreed. Awful, just fucking awful

[@akikomogami9233]

Ikr

[@2b16p]

Yes, but I think that doesn't take away from the brilliance in the first 3 series.

[@lemonsweets8282]

Pompous man

[@allisongreen1252]

Lemon Sweets he is so not pompous at all! I think he's quite self effacing

[@akikomogami9233]

Mycroft Holmes

[@alons-y5897]

Я без понятия, что он базарит, но это охуенно.

[@lexion6398]

John Potatson привет чел я с тобой полностью согласен
