- What advice would I give to James's future costars?
Just run, run as fast as you can.
He never stops talkin' about himself.
(whimsical music) No, no advice.
Just enjoy his company.
Listen to what he has to say.
He's a, I mean, James is such an educated man.
When James auditioned for Grantchester, they said, "What can you bring to this charismatic member "and inquisitive member of the clergy?"
And James went, "I've got a first "in Theology from Cambridge."
Me, of course, as a detective, I brought in a magnifying glass and said, "Do you like Columbo?"
That's the kind of poor man's version I gave them.
Any advice I'd give to anybody, just listen to what he has to say.
He's an incredibly bright young man with an amazing life and amazing family and you'll learn a lot from him.
