Summary
Smiley, wrestling with retirement and disillusionment, is summoned to a secret meeting with a member of the Cabinet Office. Evidence has emerged that the Circus has been infiltrated at the highest level by a Russian agent. 'Find the mole, George. Clean the stables. Do whatever is necessary.' Reluctantly Smiley agrees, and so embarks on a dark journey into his past a past filled with love, duplicity and betrayal.
Starring the award-winning Simon Russell Beale as Smiley, and with a star cast including Anna Chancellor, Alex Jennings, Kenneth Cranham, and Bill Paterson, this epic dramatisation brilliantly depicts the complicated moral dilemmas of those who practice post-war espionage and illuminates the murky corners of le Carré's classic spy thriller - the first in the Karla trilogy.

Great production by the BBC as always!
This is a deep, complex Cold War novel with a large cast of characters - and as such it doesn't actually lend itself terribly well to audio. Reading a book I might flick back a couple of chapters to remind myself of something, but of course this is nigh-on impossible with an audiobook. The production from the BBC is of course excellent, but the material is very dense and complicated so you really do have to concentrate to keep up!
