What role is Gatiss playing - must be either vicar or verger

Sure. The problem with modern actors is that many are put on a pedestal to the extent that you end for example going to see The Bill Nighy show rather than the character, so it's difficult to get totally absorbed in the plot and charters. That's why compelling TV dramas are better without house hold names.

I agree. Hugh Grant is another.
But not sure how modern is modern because I can not watch a film with Sean Connery in the lead role without watching Sean Connery rather than his character.
