Fantastic and I only wish Mark was our prime minister, with Ian at his side.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat Tweets
Thoughts? (Presuming we don't need a briefing of the content of these articles; I'm assuming everyone knows, but if not I'll hunt down the links and post them.)

Re: Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat Tweets
It's good to have it confirmed, but I'm wondering it it should go in the debate thread? I hope it's OK with you if I answer the main bit there (I know not everybody wants to read about the subject).
Anyway, interesting what he says about TPLOSH, because I'm convinced he's talked about the filim in an interview and said similar things. It must have been my imagination working overtime! I do think TPLOSH is an influence. I suppose the trouble with a "garbled mistranslation" is we don't know exactly what bits are close to the truth and what bits are nonsense!

Re: Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat Tweets
Well I know what I think, but it should possibly be on one of the relationship threads.
Well I actually I think two things and one of them is alright to discuss here: possibly Mark doesn't like to think they've just modernised somebody's interpretation of canon.
BBC Sherlock is their own work, despite liking/being influenced by other versions.

He certainly praised the movie in the past - unless these quotes are "garbled" too:

Re: Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat Tweets
I think he does like the film...I don't think that's the issue.

Re: Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat Tweets
IMO this is Mark being - insert some unfriendly adjectives of your choice. The 2010 Guardian article was published in a very distinguished newspaper. It was no clickbait, nothing sensational. No need to garble his words. And "mistranslate" - oh, please, did he do the interview in Swedish or what? Btw, in my experience serious media outlets show you their articles before publication so you may authorise them or not.
There are videos of him praising the movie, its influence on their own version, etc. What makes me angry is this blatant lying about things he has said and written in the past. I think he felt cornered by the person asking him outright if the Guardian article had been accurate as well. Had he said yes, people would have known he lied in the Accent interview. Still, Mark handled this very badly.

Re: Mark Gatiss & Steven Moffat Tweets
Brilliant find! I can only explain Mark's reactions from yesterday with feeling cornered so badly that he was blindly lashing out. Because there is so much evidence for his love for this film. Which, again, shows that everything they say has to be taken at least with a big pinch of salt.

More likely with a big rock of salt... LOL!

Same as the quotes about "walking into the sunset" from 2015 and 2016. LOL. You really cannot believe anything they say.
