Be careful with those expectations
I assumed that Mark Gatiss would be capable of writing a good episode, and it just turned out to be rather silly.

I guess, he was responsible for the film adaption of Beowulf, which despite not having seen it, apparently was tosh
but his short film staring Bill Nighy and his now-wife Amanda Palmer as a living statue was excellent.

I will forgive him anything, as he has written one of my favourite books of all time.

The final battle is over, the main bits have been "laid to rest"
but WAIT there's around 50 pages. What could be left to wrap up?

...what? A throwaway line in the grand finale? Links back into a bit character we meet who we assume is just setting the scene? A hundred year mystery solved?
HOLY SHIT SHADOW SHIT IS GOING DOWN

I think the only one of his I've read was that one he did with Pratchett
To be honest, I'm more of a SF telly person than a proper SF book-readin' type.

For example, if they made films or TV series of the Greg Bear Eon/Eternity books, I would probably like them a damn sight more than the books, which I found a bit confusing - though rather fab as concepts.

Good Omens is ok
Neverwhere is fucking awesome for a TV show tie in.

Actually, Crow, this supports my argument that his Dr Who episode will be great. His previous forays into sci-fi TV were excellent. Well, probably more fantasy than sci-fi.

Not a fan of Greg Bear
He's a bit pedantic, I found.

Richard Morgan, Altered Carbon or Market Forces. Way more fun
