Yes, Eddie, yes. Do I like it when someone agrees with one of my wilder ideas? Do I ever. Peter Capaldi is a brilliant actor, who’s finally been given a job that lets him express all of his talents. I will go with your proposal of Gareth Thomas as Proud Jimmy, even though he’s at least five years too old for the part, because his brother Harvey is a very old and dear friend. For the same reason I will pass on Douglas Henshall as Andy Martin, in favour of my chum Scott Wilson, the most talented man on Scottish radio, who has a Taggart appearance in his cv.

You do not offer a suggestion for the casting of Alex. Let’s  hear it if you have one.
