Great stuff. Just bought the Tinker tailor/smiley's people DVD's. That was an era when the BBC produced quality drama,and wasn't obsessed with the ratings.Breadman wrote:Graham Greene and John Le Carre.

Just re-read 'Epitaph for a spy' by Eric Ambler. If you haven't already read it Breaders,it's a cracking good yarn.Breadman wrote:boltonbonce wrote:Great stuff.

Get in!!
I watched the new Tinker film when it came out and immediately re-visited the BBC series that introduced me to it in the first place when I watched it with my Dad way back when.
Thankyou Amazon.
And I read all the books again.
I actually shed a tear when I finished them.
Just read The Dogs of Riga by Henning Mankell because a mate of mine said to me that it's like "Le Carre: Lite" - Le Carre but you don't have to think so hard about what you've just read to work out what's going on.
And I've just learnt that there's a BBC4 series with Kenneth Brannagh starring in it as Kurt Wallender.
Fuck you X-Factor, my Saturday nights are sorted for a bit !

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
