Transcript

00:00Hi, my name's David Gaylor. Other people may know me as The Real Roy Grace.

00:05I work with Peter James, have done for over 20 years now,

00:09and the Roy Grace books and the TV are based on me as a character.

00:16The Real Roy Grace, John Sim also loves his music. He's got a vinyl collection as well.

00:22So when we're filming, I always try and pop into the local record shop, see what's for sale.

00:30In the new year, we've got the next play from Peter James' books, Picture You Dead,

00:37which is going to be at the Theatre Royal in Brighton, first week in March.

00:41So if you get the chance, go along, watch it, you'll love it.

00:45It features a local character, David Henty. He actually is not in the play, but his character will be there.

00:54So some of you local residents will recognise him.

00:57And it's a very entertaining production, and I think people who go along will really enjoy it.

01:06And tickets are already selling well. It's something that Peter does.

01:11We try and make sure that the play features at Brighton, as it's Peter's local town,

01:15every couple of years when the new play comes out.

01:19And this is the latest in a long series.

01:22And I know there's many local people who will enjoy seeing yet another of his books on the stage.
