Born and raised in London, Pulman was renowned as "adaptor-extraordinary," having written teleplays for such literary works as Jane Eyre, Crime and Punishment, David Copperfield, and War and Peace.
He died of a heart attack in London on 29 May 1979. His last screenplay, Private Schulz, went into production after his death. His widow, Barbara Young, collected a posthumous writers award from The Royal Television Society for his work on the show in 1982.
