Tom Hardy’s gritty BBC One series is bringing on one of the channel’s own stalwarts, in the form of Sherlock star, writer, and co-creator Mark Gatiss.
Gatiss continues his role as Mycroft Holmes in season 4 of Sherlock; which recently shocked fans with series’ biggest twist yet in the season’s second episode, The Lying Detective.
Gatiss is set to play the infamous Prince Regent (later George IV) in Taboo’s second episode; with our first look at the character seeing Gatiss look entirely urecognisable under a heavy layer of prosthetics, fitted to imitate the monarch’s jowly visage.
