Episode four of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy introduces us to the infamous Karla, who is a bit stingy with his words. It's a shame because he's played by the menacing and excellent Patrick Stewart. We also get to see what Jim Prideaux is like in the classroom (children driving). And finally, we learn what really happened at The Circus the night of the "Czecho incident." Be like Sam and pop a beer while on duty.

This is the twenty-seventh 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.
