Kim Philby is also a central element of The Company by Robert Littell, who suggests Philby as being essentially the cause of breakdown within the CIA, affecting the organization for years afterwards.
Other events? The Earp brothers and the O.K. Corral are a good example, I think, as the events surrounding the Tombstone period have been cultural mythology for decades, told and retold and examined from multiple angles. The life of the Earps prior to and subsequent to Tombstone have had their share of going over too, though not to near the extent.
Dennis Potter...hmmm. Cold Lazarus and Karaoke (which go together), The Stone Tape, and most certainly The Singing Detective, which is quite autobiographical in many respects, even more so than the original Pennies From Heaven.
