In this episode, we talk about the stylish 2011 production of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, starring Gary Oldman as Smiley. Does Tom Hardy live up to the lofty standards of the great Hywel Bennett? Does Marc Strong know karate as well as Ian Bannen? And does Colin Firth channel the elitism and arrogance of Ian Richardson? All these questions and more will be answered!

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