Nigel Kneale estuvo orgulloso del éxito de su hijo [Matthew Kneale] como escritor. Cuando su novela English Passengers ganó el Premio Whitbread Book en 2005, su padre comentó que: «Mathew es mucho mejor que yo. Yo sólo escribo guiones.»

Nigel Kneale, que sólo escribía guiones, fue el ganador del Premio Somerset Maugham en 1950 por «Tomato Cain and other stories», estuvo nominado en dos ocasiones al BAFTA al mejor guion de película británica (adaptando para cine las obras de teatro de John Osborne: Mirando hacia atrás con ira y el animador) y has been described as «one of the most influential writers of the 20th century», and as «having invented popular TV».
