		Clement, languid in a blazer, more closely resembles a man of his age, but La Frenais, in his groovy suit and specs, has the air of one who was no stranger to Blow-Up-style Swinging Sixties house parties and the chance to chat up Twiggy and The Shrimp on an Afghan rug.
		"Dick was the grown-up with the estate car but Ian was the short swinger who graduated from a red Sunbeam Alpine to a fl E-type Jag and eventually a green Rolls-Royce, and there was always a copy of the Melody Maker strategically placed on every back seat," he says.
		Clement and La Frenais try to de-glamorise their art but this doesn’t really convince, and their lives still end up sounding pretty exciting.

		It has been adapted by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais and stars the godawful Sarah Lancashire.
		I can’t think of any writers, either for stage or screen, who do better comic dialogue than Dick and Ian, and the rhythms of the dialogue in my novel were taken directly from The Likely Lads anyway, so it’s perfect (and rather unbelievable, to me) that they have ended up adapting it.
		This was a bit tough on Dick and Ian, because they were slightly in the dark about some of the plot developments in The Closed Circle, which I wanted to keep close to my chest.
