Mark Gatiss Watch: It Should Have Been Me

Mark Gatiss is telling me how he met his husband. It was 17 years ago and Gatiss was making The League of Gentlemen while Ian Hallard wasn’t long out of drama school. It wasn’t showbiz that brought the pair together, though. They met online, which was not the sort of thing you broadcast back then. “There was a genuine stigma in those days,” says Gatiss, “which has completely vanished now. We didn’t tell our families – I said we’d met at a party or something like that, because it was still a bit odd.” ...

I often think Mark Gatiss would be the perfect boyfriend. Eating beans on toast whilst watching old tapes of hammy films while he gives an hilarious running commentary.
