Richard Coyle själv sa i en intervju att han var rädd för att vara typecast:
I was very keen that that character didn’t stick with me. It’s the kind of character that does.

It was a very difficult decision; incredibly difficult because there was something nice about the fact that I knew, for three years, once a year we all came together for three months and had an almighty laugh.
Serieens författare / skapare, Steven Moffat , hade detta att säga om Richard Coyle avgång:
Richard didn’t want to return. Or do a goodbye episode. Or in fact talk to me. Hurtful behaviour, but it’s showbiz, these things happen. Can’t give you any insight, except these wise words, spoken by – er – a wise person: an actor will forgive you for anything but their first success.
