DESCRIPTION:
Digging deep in the Isley Hotel Don Wardell George Smiley is holed up in the cheap Isley Hotel in Paddington working through the night on secret files that have to be returned every morning. He's looking for a mole in the Circus "buried very deep and very near the top". Control knew there was a traitor but died before he could be unmasked. Is it Tinker, Tailor, Richman, Beggerman? Will George nab the mole. Most of all I enjoy the pacing of this tale. It unfolds very slowly, as a true investigation would. Joseph H. said A good dramatization. It's a good dramatization, but the listener needs to be advised that it is just that - a BBC dramatization of the story - not a full or abridged reading of the book.. Great summary of this terrific book. Elizabeth Howe This BBC broadcast was such an intelligent telling of the Tinker, Tailor story. It assumed you had read the book or perhaps even seen the recent (Gary Oldman) movie. I had. Thus, a complete success with me--and I have relistened to it already. Thanks.
