Francis Durbridge's The World of Tim Frazer is a 1962 spy novel based on his 1960-61 TV serial (which sadly has not survived). A very ordinary man gets mixed up in the murky world of espionage, just the sort of thing Durbridge did very well.

@d4doome I enjoy immensely Durbridge's Paul Temple radio dramas, now occasionally rebroadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra on BBC Sounds. The Paul Temple radio dramas sometimes had a 'James Bond' feel, with exotic locales and suspicious characters speaking in foreign accents.
Also, I thought I read somewhere that Durbridge saw himself as a writer of dialogue and had help with the novelisations. Any indication/recognition of such help in this novel?
