ITV latest drama The Ipcress File is based on the novel of the same name and is a remake of the original film. Here's all you need to know…
March 13, 2022 - 19:19 GMT Francesca Shillcock ITV's latest drama, The Ipcress File, will be a familiar name and story to many due to it being based on the famous book of the same name, and the iconic 1960s movie starring Michael Caine. But many are wondering about its origin story.
How similar is ITV's The Ipcress File to the book? The biggest difference between the movie and ITV adaptation from the book is that the leading character has a name. Michael Caine took on the role of Harry Palmer in the movie, while Joe Cole portrays him in the up-to-date series. The book, however, sees the investigator remain anonymous.
Towards the end of the series, Harry Palmer ends up getting brainwashed with the same technique which had formed the basis of the story throughout.
