Description

We conclude our series of spy films with another pair of movies based on the novels of John LeCarre.

In Episode 72 we had a strictly Cold War vibe going on; this time it's more of a mixed bag. So we'll start with a Cold War story with Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the 2011 film directed by Tomas Alfredson and featuring an amazing ensemble cast including Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Benedict Cumberbatch and many more. It's a tense story that deals with a potential mole in MI-6 who may have been operating for many years.

In Part 2, we'll look at the Islamic terrorist threat to the UK in A Most Wanted Man.
