I'll happily give this a listen but it's not the 1981 adaptation with George Cole as Smiley. Not sure who is playing the lead but it's not Cole and it's definitely Joan Sanderson as Mss Brimley.

Thank you, he is a brilliant writer and so enjoyable to listen to 🤗🥂
Another great LeCarre dramatisation. I don't even mind the sound quality, somehow it adds something.
Period-Correct !
Well made.
Enjoyed it. Great cast. But this isn’t Gorge Cole as Smiley.
