It was generally believed that the central character in this mini-series, a brilliant Jewish student at Cambridge who becomes a novelist and film writer, was an autobiographical portrait of Frederic Raphael, the scriptwriter of the series.
Many years after this famous mini-series, Tom Conti and Barbara Kellerman repeated their roles as Adam and Barbara Morris in some radio plays, also written by Frederic Raphael.
This was written by the novelist and screenwriter Frederic Raphael as an original TV series, and it was only after the scripts had been written and the series had been shown that he turned his work into a novel.
