 I put it to one side for a bit and really it was down to, well, my wife, Sue Virtue, the producer, who always liked it and kept saying, look, it's not getting less relevant, is it? And of course, my old friend, Karen Gillan from Doctor Who, who had become by some strange mischance an international movie star. Perfect. And she kept saying, she asked to read it, which never happens to writers, does it? No one ever asked to read whatever. Because just as she plays the co-anchor, Hugh Bonneville's sidekick, or not sidekick, equal.
