Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy might be LeCarre's most well-known work. The only thing better than the book might just be the 1979 mini-series starring Alec Guinness. In episode one, director John Irvin takes viewers with Prideaux to Czechoslovakia and back to England where Ricki Tarr is waiting with a story to tell.

This is the twenty-fourth 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.
