John Nettles Quotes

• I suppose I'm not quite the oldest detective on the block - David Jason is. When's he going to retire and give rest of us a chance?!

• I've not really had a bad Christmas. Apart from serious things, like when my father died. He rather spoiled the party and I've never forgiven him for falling off the twig on Christmas Day.
