In this episode, I talk about episode four of the 1982 miniseries adaptation of Smiley's People. I talk about the three schools of British spy fiction, what it's like to have your trunk folded and crushed by transients, and wonder aloud what happened to Michael Jayston. Don't let the driving gloves scare you off, this episode has grip.

This is the fortieth episode of Thrill is Gone: A podcast about thrillers. This episode marks another episode in the series Tinker, Tailor, Podcast, Spy, where I read all of LeCarre's work from Call for the Dead all the way to Agent Running in the Field. I am also going to be checking out the movies and radio dramas along the way.
