Mark Gatiss Downbeat On ‘Sherlock’ Reunion: “Going Back Is Often Very Difficult” – Italian Global Series Festival
'Sherlock' creator Mark Gatiss has downplayed the chances of the BBC series returning for another season or as a film.
The chat ranged from how he began reading murder mystery books in his childhood – “I had German measles, and I got a Sherlock Holmes as a cheering-up gift and I never looked back” – to why he dislikes the term ‘cosy crime’, which has been applied to his new show. Set in the post-World War II era that has fascinated Gatiss for years, it sees Book solve mysteries in London with the help of a young Inspector Bliss (Elliot Levey). Gatiss is the writer, creator and star, with ITV Studios-owned Eagle Eye Drama producing alongside its subsidiary, Belgium-based Happy Duck Films, for UKTV in the UK and PBS in the U.S.
