Quotes
[Talking about the imminent prospect of his fictional detective, DI John Rebus, having to retire from the force] He's now fifty-eight, fifty-nine. And he has to retire at sixty. Questions have been asked in the Scottish Parliament. There's a Fife MSP called Helen Eadie who asked the Justice Minister if she could change the retirement age for cops in Scotland so that Rebus could keep going. And I think Kathy Jamieson said that probably people - real-life cops - wouldn't be too happy about the retirement age changing for a fictional character.
