Thank you very much.

It's a great pleasure to be back.

Why did I go back to Sharp?

I don't feel I go back to him.

I mean, I've been writing Sharp for now for 40, 45 years, something like that.

And he lives with me.

I mean, he's in my head all the time.

I hear Sean Bean's voice.

Good old Yorkshireman.

Yeah.

And I'd always intended to write it

at least one other sharp.

And there are gaps in his career which I can fill, although those gaps are getting fewer and narrower.

And...

It's also, I'm now over 80 years old, and I thought, I deserve an easy book to write.

An easy book is, you know, just Unleashing Sharp, which turned out to be one of the most difficult bloody books I've ever written.

So, you know, will I go back to him?

The answer is probably yes, because I can't imagine that three or four years from now, if I'm still alive, I'll think, well, let's unleash him again.

Because it was a big gap.

I thought it was a big gap.
