In Search of Dracula With Mark Gatiss
10.35pm, BBC Two
After co-writing the latest TV adaptation of the much-loved (and much-feared) Bram Stoker novel, Mark Gatiss goes in search of the inspiration behind the book and examines its long afterlife in popular culture. His journey takes him to the Slovakian castle that was used as the setting for the 1922 silent film Nosferatu, as well as Philadelphia, to look over Stoker’s newly found research notes and abandoned ideas for the book, before he chats to his latest actor to play Dracula, Claes Bang.
