Aye, I read that before (well, I read it directly on the SFX site). I also read the stuff at http://lifeofwylie.com and elsewhere.
"It seems funny to say that Ashley and I slightly differ because it sound like it’s fact and we’re differing on it, rather than the fact that we made it. But I always wrote Keats as literally being the Anti-Christ and Ashley always thought ot him not as that, because he said, ‘Why would the Anti-Christ bother with little Ray and little Shaz and little Chris?’ And I said, ‘Well, why does a blues singer get stopped by the devil on a crossroads and asked to sell his soul to be able to play the blues?’ The devil does seem to pick on individuals in lonely places. He doesn’t go after big swathes of the big people, he tends to pick on the little people. So we kind of differ on what we wanted Keats to be, really."
"At the read through for episode one, I sat down with him and I said – he knew, we told him he was basically going to be the Devil. "
