- James was profiled by The Telegraph in the run-up to Lot No. 249's transmission: 'When things go bump in the night, in British theatre and film, those things not infrequently turn out to be James Swanton. Just 32, but with the air of someone at least a century older, the actor has ploughed an award-winning furrow as all manner of ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties...'

- James guested on Dominic Gerrard's podcast Charles Dickens: A Brain on Fire! for an episode entitled 'The Haunted Actor'. Their wide-reaching discussion took in theatrical roots, Dickens's Christmas ghost stories, Sikes & Nancy and Henry Irving. Listen to the conversation here.
