Just finished watching the 1979 7 part TV of this.
Absolute joy.
No car chases, no fight scenes, no CGI of sh*t being blown up just bloody good acting and sparse sharp writing.
Alec Guinness was Smiley to a T.

I remember watching an episode of The Sweeney about a decade or so ago where they were called in to HQ from a red phone box and told there was a hostage situation in a hotel.
They screeched across there in their usual manner to find most of their colleagues in the hotel bar and had a pint or two before tackling the hostage taker.
Quite amusing...

A friend met one of the cast of that programme a while ago, he was very very very bitter that it's not on all the time like Dad's Army so he hasn't earned any money from it.

if you are interested in retro I highly recommend this, the awesome Bernard cribbins in the best version yet of dangerous Davies still ever seen on tv
