New ITV drama Grace is based on best-selling novels by Peter James. GEORGIA HUMPHREYS finds out more from stars John Simm and Richie Campbell. It’s a big responsibility to bring a beloved detective to life. And the next popular literary character coming to our screens is hard-working, Brighton-based police officer Roy Grace. Adapted from Peter James’ international bestseller Dead Simple, new ITV production Grace is written by Endeavour creator Russell Lewis, and stars John Simm, 50, in the title role. Calling it a “delicate balancing act”, the actor tried not to worry too much about what avid readers of the books would think of his performance. “While we’re trying to be absolutely true to the source material, it’s a TV show and so some fans of the novel will be up in arms because it won’t be the characters they had in their head,” acknowledges the Yorkshireman, during a Q&A on Zoom.
