In this episode, I talk about episode three of the 1982 miniseries adaptation of Smiley's People. I talk about Bernard Hepton, fake statues, and the 17 minutes that changed it all for Beryl Reid. Ask Connie's partner Hillary for a cup of tea and give it a listen. You don't buy Degas from Signor Benati, you follow me?

This is the thirty-ninth 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.
