​

He thanks his mother and late father for his opportunities in life.

He thanks Alcoholics Anonymous for saving his life.

He thanks Rob Handy for being a friend for life.

He thanks almighty God for life itself.

​

Finally, David wishes to thank two individuals in first-personal terms...

​

Trevor Green was a multi-skilled media producer who helped with almost every writing project I undertook from our time together at Cromwell Productions until his death in July 2021. He read with diligence a great many of my scripts - including some awful early drafts - and paid for a great many cups of coffee along the way. It is a matter of deep regret that I will not be able to buy him one back with my forthcoming millions. Sorry, mate. But thanks all the same. 

 

What I owe to Nick Myerscough is greater still. Scour and Changing the Subject  were landmarks in my journey as a writer. Nick spent hard-earned money on both, and a year of his own life making the latter with his beloved Emily. But the debt I owe Nick is more than financial. Indeed, he has been a sweet and loyal friend who has shared many if not most of the notable experiences of my life. Good and bad. Can't put a price on that, mate...
