Listen to Robert discuss Strike’s love of the British coast.
Transcript
Well Strike’s a Cornishman so he’s very drawn to the sea, he’s always happy being near the sea. So I think they’ve been to Whitstable, Cromer, Skegness, obviously we’ve been to Saint Moors. Well, like a lot of people, you know, I do love the coast. But it adds something to Strike’s character because we see him initially as such an urban person, you know. He’s London based, he works out of the heart of London. It just adds something to his character because he’s drawn to the sea but that has such a strong association of childhood for him. So I always see it that way. When he heads for the coast we normally find out something character wise about Strike. That’s the significance for me.
