There was a program on the beeb called Heroes and Villains a few years back. One of the episodes was about 'Tim' - he was played by Rowan Atkinson. It was very entertaining, although I don't know how true to life it was. I have Full Throttle too and the program fitted in with the style of the book. I do remember a letter in Autosport the week after it was on from someone who knew Birkin and they remarked that Atkinson did a very good job at portraying him.
