Such is our love and admiration for the brilliant Mark Gatiss, we’re looking forward to the show he’s created and will star in for Alibi, Bookish.
And now, we’re hearing that it has begun filming and new cast members have been added.
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for the series and Gatiss stars as the erudite and unconventional Gabriel Book who, from his antiquarian bookshop, helps the police to solve a variety of mysterious crimes. With three main cases in the series, each storyline spans two-episode instalments.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie (Polly Walker) runs the wallpaper shop next door. She’s a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a ‘lavender’ marriage to help conceal Book’s sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
New cast members include: Blake Harrison as Sergeant Morris, as well as Rosie Cavaliero, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Tom Forbes, Amanda Drew, Luke Norris, Ella Bruccoleri and Michael Workéyè confirmed to guest star.Â
