It's always been well regarded but I hadn't seen it before. I watched the first three episodes last night, it's good.

Thanks for that.
Have read the book, but have never seen the old tv version.
Absolutely love anything about the Cold War era.
Currently listening to the audiobook Bernard Sampson novels for the umpteenth time.

for various reasons, not least the description of his wife Ann, I am convinced that George Smiley is actually my late father-in-law

Such a masterclass in how to inhabit a character. The way he cleans his classes at the very end when speaking to Ann.

Nothing like it until Brian Cranston as Walter White.

Imagine a modern version of this. Smiley would be played by a black lesbian paraplegic eh lads! Rather than someone good like Gary Oldman.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
