Angus Wilson - Skating on Thin Ice
A comic and affectionate portrait of Sir Angus Wilson , the controversial and acerbic novelist and short storywriter who died in May and is considered by many to have been the "forgotten" great man of English literature.
Nigel Williams assesses his life and work with the help of Margaret Drabble (Wilson's biographer) and Malcolm Bradbury , who worked with him in the 60s.
An ITV dramatisation of his powerful novel Anglo-Saxon Attitudes, adapted by Andrew Davies (A Very Peculiar
Practice, House of Cards), is scheduled for transmission in the spring and will star Richard Johnson and Dorothy Tutin. Producer Nadia Haggar Editor Nigel Williams
