Thank you so much for posting this wonderful adaptation starring one of my favourite actors Bernard Hepton. Gosh how I miss his generation. It’s so comforting to be able to listen thank you so much ❤️📻

A wonderful ensemble piece from the BBC. Wonderful voices Bernard Hepton, James Grout so distinctive yet every time they create beliebeable characters. Is there a cast list? Is Ricky Tarr played by the incomparable Christian Rodska, now sadly deceased?

Thinking about the scene where they burn Toby and wondering how often an actor gets to play both key roles in a scene in different productions.

Helps reveal the story's takeaways, including profiles of the English. Many characters here represent England of the day: Smiley, Control, Bill H. & Co., Roddy, Anne, Jim P (and Roach from the book), and Ricky Tarr... They're all Brits ..but Brits representing diff sides of B society that England has a chance to champion...or avoid.

Lovely recording. Never heard it before. However, the metadata is a bit wonky. Transcript is full of mistakes. Cast list ignores a number of major characters. Doesn’t distract from the story and acting though.

Time's passing is interesting. Bill Hayden would have been seen as an almost incomprehensible traitor. Today his position while still a betrayal was absolutely right about America, Western democracy and the shameful position of the British ruling class in that system. The falling of the Berlin Wall showed how empty American rhetoric has really been since 1945.

Oh dear ! This is a very poor offering from all concerned. Whilst Peter Vaughn was a good actor I feel his George Smiley was no where as strong as Simon Russel Beal who gives the role gravitas, depth and conveys a wise and secretive man giving little away. Typified of course by Alec Guinness on screen and Gary Oldman on film. As to the American accents well they are just bad ! Very few English actors can give a convincing American accent as can be heard, or rather not heard , in any BBC Radio drama.

Nelson's accent sounds very British to me. Come to think of it, maybe the chinese esl speakers in the uk that these actors got their notioins from sound more British than the chinese esl speakers in america that I get my notions from. Of corse now a days it's completely tacky for a white person to do the voice of any non white character. It's much more fair to give those opertunities to people of color.

@wdpbgpkjwdfbvpkjl1550 I don't think it's got anything to do with POC, I've heard dreadful fake German, Irish & Eastern European accents before now in various dramas. It's more about giving out of work actors from the countries they're trying to portray. Poor fake accents really let a well written play down.

Here’s how you know it’s an inside job. When things go terribly wrong in the organization, Top Boys insist no investigation and early retirement for the top two allied performers. Doesn’t matter the organization . You only need five reporting to one outside the five to break the skin. Ever pierce the skin of a single cell organism under the electron microscope. Take a look.

I wonder which version John le Carre preferred? The radio or the TV version? I'm guessing the latter. But they are very different. The TV version is FAR more dramatic...for better or worse. ☮
