Timeline

1957

His marriage to Susan Kilner was simply a marriage of convenience, as she was pregnant by him. After the child was born, he had little to do with her, although they were not officially divorced until 1957.

1959

One of the most brilliant novelists of his generation, Simon Raven was also one of Britain's foremost television scriptwriters. His magisterial 'Alms For Oblivion' sequence of novels concerned the foibles and moral hubris of the upper and upper-middle classes in the post war years and were deserved classics which acquired him an international reputation as a writer and something of a notorious libertine. A larger than life character he loved cricket, gambling, alcohol and had affairs with both sexes. Sometimes accused of snobbery he claimed that he wrote "for people like myself, well educated, worldly and sceptical. "His first book, Feathers of Death, the story of a homosexual romance in the Army, was published in 1959, but he quickly discovered that he could earn far more by writing for television.

1961

His first TV play, Royal Foundation, was broadcast by the BBC in 1961.

1974

Several others followed but his most famous works were his Anthony Trollope adaptations, The Way We Live Now, a six part series which the BBC subsequently wiped and The Pallisers (1974), which was broadcast in 26 episodes with Susan Hampshire in the lead.

In 1974 he adapted Frances Donaldson's _"Edward & Mrs.

1980

Simpson" (1980) (mini)_ for Thames Television, a seven part series which topped the ratings despite complaints from Wallis Simpson herself and reputedly the Queen Mother.
