91热爆

Writer and author Mark Gatiss reveals his castaway choices with Kirsty Young.

In a specially extended edition for 91热爆 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 91热爆 TV re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes has been a huge success.
