Mark Gatiss has written the Dalek episode. Nothing wrong with his writing!

He did co-write and co-direct The Invention Of Lying; but with some other bloke, not Merchant.

And that got a pasting on Front Row last night. But even if all his films are average to dire, I don't think it'll change his legacy. Rowan Atkinson hasn't exactly had a particularly auspicious film career, yet it hasn't stopped people thinking of him as a great comedy actor.

LOG and that spooky Christmas thing he did the other year illustrate that; plus his novels.

It's picked up pretty good reviews in most of the film mags.
And if it all goes wrong, he can go back to radio with Steve and Karl.
Quote: Timbo @ April 13 2010, 1:11 PM BSTGiven the writers Moffat has been recruiting it would not come as a surprise.
Let's not forget that Moffatt himself was something of a surprise. I remember being quite surprised that the writer of Coupling was for some reason writing a two part Doctor Who story.

It did, but the woman who reviewed it didn't seem to take the film in the spirit in which it was presumably intended.
Maybe she's a bitter failed comedy writer on the sly.

The TV version of that starts on Channel 4 next week. They appear to be animated Flinstones stylee.

At best it's a probably pretty minor work. I mean I like Gervais a lot, but I think I'll wait till it's £3 in ASDA before seeing it.

I would quite like to see it at the pictures, but there are other films ahead of it on my list (Four Lions, Kick Ass).
