He read History at Jesus College, Oxford where, with his school-friend from Tonbridge, David Sherwin, they wrote Crusaders, the original screenplay that later in the 1960's became Lindsay Anderson's award-winning film If...

After his early novels and biographies, John worked for many years in Italy (the country of his mother and his wife). He became, in his own words, 'a jobbing screen-writer for hire all round Europe' and was commissioned to produce original drama and adaptations for RAI and for Italian/German/French/Scandinavian co-productions, while continuing the research and writing of his own projects. His television credits include 'Murder of a Moderate Man', the adaptation of Len Deighton's 'Game, Set and Match', and Roy Battersby's revival of Doomwatch in 'Winter Angel'. Also 'Where Were You That Night?', 'Bonne Chance Frenchie', and 'Colpa di Coda'.
