This dramatisation of John Le Carre's novel proved a landmark in British Television. It received supreme critical acclaim for the screenplay by Arthur Hopcraft, the star Alec Guiness and the camerawork of Tony Pierce-Roberts.
In Alec Guiness's first major TV role he plays George Smiley, a retired agent who is secretly brought into 'the Circus' (the code name for British Secret Intelligence Service) to root out a top-level mole. Gradually piecing together the story, the weary but determined Smiley trawls through the murky waters of Cold War espionage and his own past.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spie
Excellent. Even after all this time still as riveting as when first transmitted.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Alec Guiness was born to play this. One of the most entertaining and thoughtful series ever. It keeps you on the edge all the time and you don't want it to end it, ever. Despite the very good "remake" this is the one you should watch (first) again and again.
