AMA Recap: Mark Gatiss Allows Us to Do With Him What We Will

With his involvement in so many shows with downright cult-y followings, it’s no surprise that Mark Gatiss‘s Reddit AMA this morning brought the question-askers out in droves. Over the course of an hour, more than 1700 comments were submitted, and we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites. It was hard to pick from all the personal stories, the specifics about Doctor Who and Sherlock, and the questions about the changing nature of television and entertainment consumption. And that doesn’t even take into account all the usual fun, random questions that redditors come up with for these events!

We love the Reddit community and wonderful questions that pop out of their brains fully formed. Even more, we love a good AMA where the person answering questions has a sense of humor and appreciates their audience. We just, ah, won’t be trying to break into TV writing anytime soon, okay Gatiss? Promise!
