Yes, apparently he was a liar, an alcoholic and a guy hungry for publicity! He also did something heroic... and publicly exaggerated it and monetized it for years! But I thought that made him an interesting character. Sadly it’s likely that they will not show all his faults. Still Dominic Cooke said on a podcast that the script was about a middle aged middle class man who suddenly find himself in an extraordinary situation. I think that’s good because at least it seems they won’t go for the all-around hero of his own books: he claimed he worked for Intelligence agencies since World War II.
EDITED: Cool! Now I know why it’s called IRONBARK! Thanks for the articles!

I can’t believe those two were caught! 😉
That book actually looks fascinating! It’s a shame that it’s very likely it wouldn’t be adapted considering Ironbark is being filmed right now. At least not very soon.
