ADD NOTES
- Actor John Simm made a powerful guest appearance in Clocking Off, also written by Paul Abbot.
  EDIT SHARE
- When State of Play was being shown on TV actor Bill Nighy had a lot of members of the public coming up to him in the street and said that thanks to Paul Abbot's script everyone thought he was very dry and witty just like Cameron Foster.
