Ingram adapted Iris Murdoch's novel The Sandcastle for television in 1963. Bourne described Ingram's work as having, "skirted marvelously well the traps and quicksands. The plot was tightened but not falsified; the characters were blunter, as they must be in television,... but they were not fundamentally altered... First rate performance by Charles Carson... thundering good story... compelling play."ref name="BourneReview"/>
