The kid who plays Joe was on The One Show - he's only 8 - he really does a good job; dead eyes and great lines and it is actual acting as in person he has the genuine twinkle and smile of an 8 year old. Lee Ingleby is so good - he's almost a National Treasure. Not just for George Gently - he was in something else, ten years ago, and really grabbed my attention; really excellent and was then a JK tip for the top. This is such a great series; please try to catch it.
