EnigmaticPenguin (of death)
Things you may or may not wish to know about me:
Folks usually call me Nicola - what with that being my name and all. I'm from the UK (Bristol specifically), am 28 years old and should know better. I've been in a variety of interweb fandoms over the years but am happily parked between the Gatissian and Sherlockian circles on the Venn diagram at the moment. I own two gerbils, two hamsters and one taxidermy squirrel. I go by alocin42 in a few other places online; I can't remember now why I chose this url instead of my usual name... maybe due to my strangely attractive enigmatic smile. Or maybe because I can kill you in any one of 412 different ways. (If you didn't get that try looking up Edward Monkton)
I'm always happy to respond to queries or random rambling questions; drop me an ask. And oh look, I'm on twitter too.
My Gatiss-wife is the lovely Holly aka deathbygatiss. Penguins mate for life. <3

Tell him, would you?

Back from Greece!!!
I could ramble on about the history and the cultural significance of the whole thing, but what I most want to scream about is...

Do you do poison? Bruiser (2000), an excellent sketch show wherein most of the UK comedy scene from the last decade were awesome.
In this sketch Martin Freeman wins at creepiness.
Nebulous is a BBC Radio 4 post-apocalyptic sci-fic comedy written by Graham Duff, starring Mark Gatiss, Rosie Cavaliero, Graham Duff, Paul Putner and Graham Crowden. I would find it impossible to describe how wonderfully hilarious it is, but I must have listened to every episode four or five times over the years and it still makes me laugh out loud on crowded public transport. The running jokes and parodies/fond nods towards everything from Doctor Who to Jurassic Park to the Stepford Wives make this more than just a throwaway radio comedy, and it’s the show that first made me fall a little bit in love with Mark Gatiss.
Each series has six 30 minute long episodes, and below are Mediafire links to the files. Enjoy! :D

Clone (2008) Series One (of one)
Clone was a 2008 BBC Three comedy series starring Jonathan Pryce, Stuart McLoughlin, Mark Gatiss and Fiona Glascott. Wikipedia’s plot description is as follows:
“Intended to be a prototype super soldier who will eventually replace Britain’s volunteer Army, his creator, the brilliant scientist Dr Victor Blenkinsop discovers, to both his horror and distaste, that his new super weapon is not quite the awe-inspiring creation he expected. In fact, the clone is more likely to hug someone than shoot them. This modern-day Dr Frankenstein and his monster go on the run hoping to find the neurological trigger that will fix the clone and unlock his superhuman abilities. Unfortunately, they must also avoid Colonel Black and his crack team of security agents, whose mission is to find them and kill them.”
It was pretty resolutely panned by both critics and general viewers, but if the sight of Mark Gatiss in spiffy, spiffy military uniform being a full on eye-rolling, teeth-gnashing mad Colonel is your thing then you can always skip through the scenes he’s not in and just enjoy the rest!
Below are links to the six 28 minute long episodes on both Mediafire and Box (please use MF if possible as Box restrictingly limits monthly bandwidth). The avi files are complete at Box but are split into two parts at MF due to annoying file size restrictions; use hjsplit to reunite them.
