I agree about Gatiss. I really enjoyed the original 1972 version of "The Amazing Mr Blunden" and was excited to see it getting remade last year (by Gatiss) but it was just meh.

I went on a scavenge hunt for M.R. James productions after catching Robert Lloyd Parry's (https://www.nunkie.co.uk/the-mr-james-project) reading of two stories in the basement of Bristol Cathedral. I've got hold of A View From A Hill but haven't seen it yet. Incidentally, I did enjoy the recent Count Magnus.
