James Banks

James Banks was a property developer and one of the original clients of Joyriders.

During one of the sessions, he spent an entire afternoon inserting knitting needles into an annoying pensioner.

In exchange for free sessions in the future, he agreed to join Steve Hopley and Barry Taylor on a mission to bring Charlie and Miss Quill to Garry Fletcher. He jumped into Tanya Adeola's body. The mission was a failure as Miss Quill knocked him out cold after putting a knife in Tanya's hands.

When he regained consciousness in Tanya's body, the three "joyriders" followed Miss Quill and Charlie to Swallow Avenue. There Banks took out a knife and threatened to kill Matteusz, whose body was currently occupied by Steve Hopley, if they would not come with them. This threat turned out to be successful.
