Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy / Smiley's People

 John Le Carré's master spy George Smiley leaps off the page and onto the screen in two thrilling miniseries, where secrets, lies and clandestine thrills abound. A mole has infiltrated the 'Circus', code name for the Secret Intelligence Service.  Agent and master spy George Smiley (Sir Alec Guinness, Star Wars Episode IV) is covertly tapped to root out the mole, a task that requires a decisive investigation into Cold War era espionage. In Smiley's Game, George Smiley is called out of retirement when one of his contacts, a former Soviet General, is found murdered. Still working for the 'Circus', he discovers a clandestine operation run by his arch nemesis of the Russian Secret Service, Karla (Patrick Stewart, X-Men) uncovering a secret important enough to kill for.
