Mark Gatiss is an infuriating creative!
He acts; he presents; he adapts. Sometimes he manages to succeed with all three, in one piece.
There's no doubting his genius; but occasionally there's just too much of him; and maybe not enough of his source-material.
So here are two contrasting pieces - one live at the Alexandra Palace Theatre (where he does the first), and one on BBC4 late on Christmas Eve (where he's guilty of the second). (He's actually completed a Christmas treble with The Amazing Mr Blunden on Sky but I shall have to wait until that dvds ... ahem ..verbizing nouns are A Thing atm).

WARNING FOR SPOILERS if you intend to catch up on this one
