mark gatiss is totally amazing in this series


seriously, every time he's on the screen as Glen i laugh my arse off. he's by far my favourite character in the show. i don't think i would like it half as much if he wasn't in it! so yay, let's appreciate mark and GLEN BULB (even the name makes me snort a bit).

Yup, he's a knockout all right! I always love the guy, but this is one of his best.

D'ya think the name Glen Bulb derives from Glen Belt in "I Am Not An Animal"? Just a thought.

Yeah - he's great in it, you can tell Mark is completely enjoying himself.

Gatis's Glen Bulb is a scene stealer, he makes the character of a retarded, and possibly inbred loon his own and the twitch never fails to reduce me to hysterics (highlights include when he goes to grope Jill on her first date, and in a later episode where he is recieving a blowjob.

I also like the way he does a Scottish accent, yet in a subtle way, rather than the stereotypical Braveheart accent, and the fact that him being Scottish is just a part of the character rather than a main feature.

I know this is an old post but I've just watched the series again and its great to see people complimenting Mark G. on Glen. Flawless performance, right the way through. :)
