Like the stories that you're talking about are quite unpleasant things that probably should remain buried for a reason.

Oh, no, I was meaning like for self-preservation reasons for you.

Yeah.

Mate, the things that you've seen and done and witnessed, yeah, I don't know how you can come out the other side unscathed.

Yeah.

I think it'd be impossible.

Yeah.

We're going to loop back and get into that, the childhood and the early years.

But first of all, anyone that buys this book, The Dead Speak, what do you hope they feel when they reach the final page?

Yeah, we were discussing this in the office yesterday because I was reading out some passages of the book.

Some of the staff really enjoyed it and wanted more.

Others refused to listen.

And I said, look, this is a reality of life and it's a really important job and it's a necessary job.

And we're just lucky that we're not doing it.

Yeah, there's actually a joke about the shows that you're talking about earlier in the book.

You call them CSI made up and CSI stupid.

Have the popularity of those sort of shows made your life hell?

Yes.

Well, it's light entertainment, isn't it?

It is.
