The hero of Len Deighton's somewhat down-to-earth riposte to Fleming's James Bond adventures actually goes unnamed in the novel The Ipcress File - and accordingly he is never named in this radio adaptation, even though by this time we all think of him by the name he was given in the films: Harry Palmer.

Sadly, this play was a one-off, and there were no further adventures with Ian Hart in the lead - but I thought this would be a good choice to fill the gap left by the end of the James Bond plays I'd been posting until recently...
