PC James questioned Tom, Jimmy King, Bob and Jamie Hope when Tom called the police claiming that Bob had tried to mow him down (which he did). However, Bob said that he was trying to avoid an accident, which the tyre marks on the road back up. When Jimmy claimed not to have taken any notice as he was too busy getting Tom out of the way, James believed Bob's story and takes no further action.
Five years before he first played Dan Spencer, actor Liam Fox portrayed PC James.
