So.. Onto this episode:

Put on your warmest coat, because one of this month’s subscriber specials is a trip back to the Cold War through the memoir of Mi5’s former Assistant Director, Peter Wright.

There is excitement. There is intrigue. There is burglary all over London. And there is an incredible conspiracy theory that the former head of Mi5 may have been a Soviet spy!

Chris’ book review this month is the book Thatcher tried to ban given its incredible revelations about the life of a spy! Enjoy.

And thank you so much for being a Full Timer, we couldn’t make the show without you.
