Time for a gathering!

It's summer, so let's go to Egypt with Appointment With Death, a Poirot episode from 2008.

Meeting online this coming Saturday, July 20, at 2 PM Central time, 8 PM UK. Please message for information if you'd like to join us for blond Mark in a hat!

Hope to see you there!

This is one of the sillier things I’ve done. I have now created the only fanfic for Locked Down on AO3. After the @markgatissappreciationsociety​ viewing of the film, we decided that Donald (MG’s character) needed more of a happy ending. (Mainly because it was more fun talking about that than watching the movie.) So here’s a new career and a new partner for him. Big thanks to @daleslight​ for providing a lot of inspiration and good ideas, and to the MGAS for a wonderful watchalong.

Mark your calendars! We're meeting again on Saturday, March 9, at 2 PM US Central time / 8 PM UK time to watch Mark as eeeeeevil wampire in Being Human.

Want to join? Message for link if needed.

Today, at 2 PM Central US time, 8 PM UK time, we will be watching the audio production of The Hound of the Baskervilles, where Mark Gatiss plays Sherlock Holmes.

That's right, it's 2024, and the MGAS is back!

(Sorry for the late notice. That's 3 1/2 hours from this post. Ping!)

Watchalong to Finish April: Midsomer Murders

Our next watchalong will be this coming Saturday, April 29, at the usual 2 PM Central US time / 8 PM UK time.

We will be watching "The Sword of Guillaume" episode of Midsomer Murders from 2010 in which Mark plays Rev Giles Shawcross. He looks a little concerned here. (Eyebrow acting!)

But I'm sure it will all be fine! (I hope.)

The Mark Gatiss Appreciation Society is having a short meeting tomorrow at 2 PM Central US / 8 PM UK time.

[markgatissappreciationsociety]

Our last viewing of the annus horribilis that was 2022 will be A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story tomorrow, December 30, at 2:30 US Central time, 8:30 UK time. Mark plays Marley and wrote the adaptation. Let's end the year with shared festivity and a hope for positive change.

[markgatissappreciationsociety]

Late notice, but tomorrow! Saturday November 19! We will be watching spies and assassins.

I need dressed-up Brits telling me about James Bond, so we're watching Premium Bond with Mark Gatiss and Matthew Sweet. With a chaser of Cleaning Up, where Mark kills people.

2 PM Central US time, 8 PM UK, please message for URL if you need it.

The Next Watchalong ... This Saturday

The next MGAS watchalong is once again a listen-along. We're gathering this coming Saturday, February 25, to listen to "Hunting Ghosts with Gatiss and Coles", the audio show that aired in December (the month of ghosts with Gatiss).

We'll also listen to another podcast... which one should it be?

[markgatissappreciationsociety]

This Saturday, February 11, at 2:30 PM Central US time (8:30 PM UK) we will be watching Doctor Who: Twice Upon a Time, starring Mark Gatiss as The Captain. (Please note time adjustment.)

It's the final Peter Capaldi episode, originally aired as the Christmas Special in 2017. If you'd like to join us and don't know how, please message.

[markgatissappreciationsociety]

Let's plan ahead! You can bet he ^ would.

The MGAS will be watching Coalition (2015) not tomorrow but next Saturday, November 5, at 3 PM Central US time (which I think is 8 PM UK time because there's a time zone change by then).

Mark Gatiss plays Peter Mandelson, an inspiration for his characterization of Mycroft Holmes.

The Mark Gatiss Appreciation Society watchalongs return this Saturday! October 15! 2 PM Central / 8 PM UK... the first two episodes of Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror. (Not a lot of Mark, but sounds like an interesting subject, and “what there is, is cherce.”)

[markgatissappreciationsociety]

Dear friends,

This week is the two-year anniversary of the Mark Gatiss Appreciation Society. (First post here.)

To celebrate, we will be watching (once again) The Quatermass Experiment (2005), as it was the first thing we watched together. Join me, the yarn boys, and whoever else can show up on short notice for a virtual celebration at 2 PM Central US time/ 8 PM UK time tomorrow (Saturday, January 14). We'll drink every time Mark touches his nose, so be sure to have something you can swallow a LOT of with you.

MGAS Watchalong Tomorrow!

I do hope I'm not too late in mentioning this... I'd love to see you all for the last MGAS Watchalong of the year.

It's The Wind in the Willows! Mark plays Ratty, trying to prevent Matt Lucas' Toad from doing ridiculous things. And ... spoiler... there's a sword fight! And boating.

Bring your G&T (or beverage of choice) and join us tomorrow, Saturday, December 17, at 2 PM Central US time (8 PM UK).

Oh, and I forgot to mention -- it's the UK version! Not the truncated US one.
