It\'s a family business and we love making it, down in Cornwall. There are so many people to thank, so many writers, such an amazing cast.

"But the most important person is my amazing wife who has produced every single script of nine series. And I am allowed to tell you there will be a tenth series. We are going to make that next year, Covid or not!"
