Nicholas Ralph, who plays James in the show, opened up about taking on the part, telling : "Even physically we were quite similar. He talks about having a wiry strength from the long walks around the Yorkshire Dales… And I was very sporty as well, just like Alf was. He’s got a lot of passion and commitment to his field and that was like me. Once I found acting, I was completely enveloped in it – and haven’t looked back.
"He has little intricacies; sometimes he can be a little socially awkward… Little quirks that I could identify with. I had fun with them as well."
