Author Brian Clemens is probably best known for his Television and Film writing credits (he has also directed and produced for both media).
Following an early television play for the B.B.C., for several years he was a staff writer for the famous film and television producers The Danziger Brothers, churning out dozens of 'quickie' scripts for assembly-line 'B' movies and half hour television series including Man from Interpol and Richard the Lionheart.
He moved on to write more substantial episodes for various television series including The Invisible Man, Sir Francis Drake and Danger Man.
He wrote the original pilot episode for The Avengers and was the script editor, producer and main scriptwriter for that series between 1961 and 1969. He brought his typical spirit of burlesque to his other television series such as Adam Adamant, The Baron, and The Persuaders. Later his production company produced The Professionals.
Following television and film work in the U.S. (which included The Father Dowling Mysteries, Perry Mason and The Highlander) he returned to the U.K. where he wrote and produced for HAMMER films as well as several feature films including The Golden Voyage of Sinbad and Highlander II - The Quickening.
In the last few years he has written several successful stage plays including Strictly Murder, Inside Job, Will You Still Love Me in the Morning?, Anybody for Murder?, Shock!, A Sting in the Tale, The Devil at Midnight.
As a relative of Mark Twain (Samuel Longhorne Clemens) he not only named his sons after his famous relative but has written pieces based on his works.
The period of The Edge of Darkness is the 1900's with the action taking place in a deserted house set on the cliffs of the English south coast (Agatha Christie territory!).
Emma's parents are bringing her home after finding her in a convent hospital where, for three years, she had been listed as an unknown person following a trauma which led to total amnesia - or did it?
