Last night's episode of Who Do You Think You Are? featured the brilliant Mark Gatiss - actor and writer on shows such as Doctor Who and Sherlock. I'm going to be honest, if a TV show was just an hour a week of Mark Gatiss' random comments on life, I would watch it.
The episode itself focussed on Mark's intriguing and very historical Irish roots - with Mark from the outset wanting to be declared King of Ireland. The Irish history and the stories unravelled in the atmospheric countryside of Ireland were certainly worth the watch.
I found the link to Irish folk-lore especially interesting, but that may be because I have a general interest in all types of folk-lore (with a special interest in the Welsh.) But, of course, the vampire tale was just fabulous, and Mark was clearly delighted with the find.
Next week's episode is the last in the current series of Who Do You Think You Are? and stars British actress Frances de la Tour.
