One of my favourite stories is [the episode] Gridlock: there’s an elderly couple of ladies who are together, and it just sort of passes by, and that’s the way—softly, softly.That’s how the revolution happens, as it were: you just become aware that people are incidentally gay.I think when the day comes that you have a big detective show where the first half hour was this man at work, and he’s a maverick, and all the usual things… and then we went home and his boyfriend says, ‘Are you alright?’, and it was just a thing… then something would have genuinely changed. – Mark Gatiss, February 2012 (x)
