Other acting appearances include the comedy-drama In the Red ( BBC Two, 1998), the macabre sitcom Nighty Night ( BBC Three, 2003), Agatha Christie's Marple as Ronald Hawes in 'The Murder at the Vicarage', a guest appearance in the Vic & Bob series Catterick in 2004 and the live 2005 remake of the classic science fiction serial The Quatermass Experiment. In the same year he appeared in several editions of the documentary series SF:UK.

In 2001 he guested in Spaced as a villainous government employee modelled on the character of Agent Smith from The Matrix film series. Outside The League, Gatiss' television work has included writing for the 2001 revival of Randall & Hopkirk and script editing the popular sketch show Little Britain in 2003, making guest appearances in both. Mark Gatiss at ' A Scandal in Belgravia' episode screening The three reunited again in 2012 to film a series of sketches for the fourth series of CBBC show Horrible Histories. Shearsmith and Pemberton reunited in 2009 to create a similarly dark BBC sitcom, Psychoville, which featured an episode guest-starring Gatiss.

In 2005, the film The League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse was released, to generally positive reviews. The television programme has earned Gatiss and his colleagues a British Academy Television Award, a Royal Television Society Award and the prestigious Golden Rose of Montreux. In the same year the show transferred to BBC Radio 4 as On the Town with the League of Gentlemen, and later arrived on television on BBC Two in 1999. The League of Gentlemen began as a stage act in 1995, which won the Perrier Award at Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1997. He first met his co-writers and performers in his late teens at Bretton Hall, Yorkshire, a drama school which he attended after finishing school and having spent a gap year travelling around Europe. Gatiss is a member of the sketch comedy team The League of Gentlemen (along with fellow performers Reece Shearsmith, Steve Pemberton and co-writer Jeremy Dyson). Gatiss then studied Theatre Arts at Bretton Hall College, an arts college affiliated to the University of Leeds. At the latter, he was two years ahead of Paul Magrs, who also went on to write Doctor Who fiction. Gatiss attended Heighington Church of England Primary School, and Woodham Comprehensive School in Newton Aycliffe. In July of the same year, he would have acted in Stowers' follow-up, A Sense of Insecurity, but was unable to take the role because his father insisted he take his exams instead. One of his early forays into theatre was in Darlington in March 1983, playing Dad, in The Waiting Room by Tony Stowers, a macabre and surreal Pinteresque comedy, which explores a disintegrating family unit. All those interests have influenced his creative work as an adult. His childhood passions included watching Doctor Who and Hammer Horror films on television, reading Sherlock Holmes and H.G. He grew up opposite the Victorian psychiatric hospital there, and later in Trimdon, before his father, a colliery engineer, took a job as engineer at the School Aycliffe Mental Hospital in Heighington. Gatiss was born in Sedgefield, County Durham, England, to Winifred Rose (nГ©e O'Kane, 1931вЂ“2003) and Maurice Gatiss (1931вЂ“2021). 5.1.2 Doctor Who anthology contributions.
