However, as he's 93 now, he's not really had any involvement in it directly - he's left those things to his son Alexander and his agents. He will have obviously agreed to the rights being sold, but thereafter, I don't get the impression he has a view one way or the other. I suppose retirement really does mean retirement, in that sense.Deighton Dossierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764108300942425651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764631039755560338.post-77081355174782970422022-03-09T19:10:15.430+00:002022-03-09T19:10:15.430+00:00I think so, I mean, he hasn't told me he's...I think so, I mean, he hasn't told me he's had any issues with it, when I've emailed him about it recently.

It requires a producer who is able to get the funds, and needs to be assured that the money sent in the production is recoverable with atleast a modest profit. The producer needs to be assured of the audience when the movie is released and later distributed as the DVD. I do not see any producer coming forward, as the theme is decades old.<br />The TV series will test the reception-which means the TV audience and the advertisement revenue. I wish the series luck, but I am sceptical. ITV is not the channel I knew in 1970s and 80s. <br />Lee Child (James Grant), the massively successful thriller novelist, is bringing his Jack Reacher series as Amazon movies, as he as a Brit, residing in the US though, knows well that the UK terrestrial TV channels have massively dropped their audience, and the Jack Reacher movies in Amazon are for his readers. Perhaps, this approach would have suited for this IPcress File release.<br /><br /><br />Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01064679725920605819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764631039755560338.post-67047054833779109712022-01-31T15:21:29.541+00:002022-01-31T15:21:29.541+00:00I don't like TV series, but it's a good pr...I don't like TV series, but it's a good project, I think.
