"I think as ever, I would always say never say never and what I would say is that there are so few negatives to doing itthat it would be a really hard job to turn down," he told Express.co.uk in 2020.
"I'd like to think that I've done enough well now that they will always want me to be in it. So I can't imagine that I would say outright that I'd do it for the next ten years because that's not my career aspirations," he explained, adding that he and co-star Neil Dudgeon, who plays DCI John Barnaby, have "a good vibe" and viewers favour "consistency" over changes to the cast.
