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.
