The Tractate Middoth Q&A

[@robertdiamond2830]

Yes, i would have liked to have heard from John Caste - fantastic actor.

I was unsure that the 35 minute allocation would allow Mark Gatiss to transfer M.R. James text and, more importantly, atmosphere to film but he did and in such a comfortably unsettling way. I hope the BBC do give him his way and return the woefully neglected and long overdue tradition of classic Ghost Christmas Stories that both Mark and I grew up with. This recounting of "The Tractate Middoth" had both the reminiscent qualities of it's classic forerunners and managed to blend a subtly well placed update that successfully enhanced an already well told story.

Yes he does more.

What a delight this whole thing is.

[@daigreatcoat44]

I'm fairly certain that the book Mark Gatiss refers to is Peter Haining's "Book of the Supernatural".. It has a reproduction of a magazine spread where MRJ's story is illustrated by a picture of Henry James.

Did I miss John Castle earlier ? Mark Gatis though talented seemed to drone on .He appears to be really eccentric . More Castle and the young actor co star would have been appreciated.

Pity we didn't hear from the great John Castle.

Gah absolutely gutted to miss this Q&A, however the following with Reece Shearsmith and Lawrence Gordon Clarke was equally excellent. Excellent work BFI!

'One every year for the rest of my life'. Holding you to that :) Looking forward to Martin's Close this Christmas

[@RebelofIreland]

Martin's Close was ok. But that was about it. Covid looks to have interrupted the plans for this year.
