Mark Gatiss: Comedy Vicar

"It's a cliché, but it's true that all the fun lies in baddies, grotesques and comic roles. For me, the joy of The League [of Gentlemen] was in the dressing up; the wigs and teeth. Now I get asked to play vicars all the time. I've only ever played one. I got offered three gay vicars in a day last year. I thought, 'Hang on, I'm not the new Nimmo!'. But as an actor, you know very early on if you're never going to play Romeo. And after that, it never enters your head."

Mark Gatiss, interviewed in The Independent.
Mark played a curate in an episode of Marple, TV buffs!
Oh, and he's doing something at the Donmar Warehouse.

Fit: A Legz Akimbo Theatre Company Production

Reviewers are struggling to find le mot juste for the film, Fit - originally a Stonewall-backed DVD for schools to help tackle homophobia.
"Worthy", The Times thought.
"The message movie is a difficult thing to pull off. And Fit, commissioned by the gay equality charity Stonewall to combat homophobic bullying in schools, demonstrates the pitfalls time and again..."
Which sounds like a polite way of saying it's dreadful.
"Well-meaning", said The Guardian.
Both awarded it two stars - perhaps they awarded an extra star for effort?
Fit - written and produced by Rikki Beadle-Blair - began life as a play about The Gays performed in schools.
You can watch some trailers and clips here.
It does look "worthy" and "well-meaning", but reminded Fagburn of 'Everybody Out', the Legz Akimbo Theatre Company production from The League of Gentlemen.
