DESERT ISLAND DISCS REVISITED: LONGPLAY - MARK GATISS (320kbs-m4a/133mb/58mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcat: 29th January 2023
Writer and author Mark Gatiss reveals his castaway choices with Kirsty Young.
In a specially extended edition for BBC Radio 4 Extra, Mark shares his life story and explains his musical, book and luxury choices.
Mark tells Kirsty how his childhood passions have fuelled his adult creative life. As a boy he says he was drawn towards the macabre and gothic - while his teachers remarked that his school essays resembled scripts for Hammer horror films.
He has written for - and has acted in - Doctor Who; he was one of the creators of The League of Gentlemen and his BBC TV re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes has been a huge success.
