This BBC drama series gave actor Trevor Eve (once the loveable titular character in Shoestring) the chance to play an unpleasant character. Here he was Felix Cramer, a selfish writer who had written one brilliant novel and subsequently churned out a stream of highly successful but inferior fiction.
At once charming and cynical, wolfish womaniser Felix was married to a glamorous and successful wife (Morag Hood), but embarked on an affair which affected the precariously balanced lives of those around him.
By the end of the series, Felix seemed to have had an affair with almost everyone in the cast. The most scandalous being with his best friend’s stepdaughter, Sally (played by Beryl Bainbridge’s daughter, Rudi Davies, formerly of Grange Hill).
The seven-part series was written by Andrea Newman, author of A Bouquet of Barbed Wire.
