James Baxter is from Sunderland and quite young as well. Looks like he will fly our flag for many years to come. To land a part with David Jason will take some beating I expect. Well done to the lad.

I never thought of him as a Sunderland lad.
Next time I see him on the telly I will listen out for his accent.

Hopefully James Baxter can go on and further his career to become an international star as well as a British TV favourite.
Either way I hope he doesn't forget his roots.
Well done to the lad!

Credit where credits due.
Starring in a television show along side Sir David Jason will be hard to beat.
Congratulations to James Baxter and may he have a long career in acting.

Here is James Baxter when he gets a slice of bacon slapped in his face from David Jason.
Its where Granville demonstrates to Leroy how to iron the bacon
Here he is when he falls on top of a woman:
Here is James Baxter playing Jesus in Red Dwarf and you can hear him trying to disguise his Sunderland accent.
