[Brighton] Roy Grace coming to ITV next year

[KZNSeagull]

If Russell Lewis's scripts for this series, are anything like as good as the ones he writes/wrote for Endeavour, this sounds really promising.

I do wonder though if this means that there won't be a seventh series of Endeavour, now he seems to have turned his attention from Oxford to Brighton. It will be such a shame if that's the case.

Series 7 and 8 have been recommissioned. Series 7 is scheduled for early next year.

Re Roy Grace, I want to know who is playing Cleo who is a bit of a babe according to the books.

That's exactly what I want to know. I've always imagined her as a bit of a blonde bombshell.

I hope there's a good casting of the slimy Cassian Pewe as well. I think he'd be a fun character to play.

I'm interested to see whether John Simm can do a Brighton accent, not an easy one to do

Not sure I've found it difficult

Ah, but you don't come from dirty Leeds

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Now we will know what residents of Oxford feel like when Lewis and Morse take extreme scenic detours from A to B via Z.

I for one am looking forward to throwing stuff at the screen as Grace drives along the seafront with the sun setting through the West Pier ruin on his way from Mile Oak to Old Boat Corner.

Dominic Grieve has a bit of time on his hands now...

Good choice of actor, I liked him in Life on Mars.

I'm not too sure Peter James' true to life police procedural stories and the Roy Grace story will hold up these days what with the likes of Line of Duty being so good. It's a shame because the RG books were written well before Line of Duty and would have made good, innovative TV if they'd been adapted before Line of Duty.

And no, the character as described in the books does not look like John Simm.

Have any Roy Grace programmes actually aired yet?

No, just commissioned I think.

No, just commissioned I think.

I thought production was due to start in March so I assume it fell foul of Covid-19.

Quite possibly. But they certainly haven't been aired yet.

Filming in Brighton starts next month, I understand...

 

[Is it PotG?]

Started on Monday apparently.

Looking forward to when this is aired, hope they do the books justice

The last series of Endeavour was rubbish though. It jarred with all the previous episodes. Hopefully Lewis will get back to his original strengths and create a new classic.

Filming in my building tomorrow!

I hope it's as good as Cuffs

Dreadful author, lazy books, reminds me of Matt Lucas as Barbara Cartland lying on the couch dictating vacuous crap to David Walliams to fill up/bulk out her latest novel.

I really think they will. Peter James would not have allowed it otherwise
