Описание: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a 1979 British seven-part spy drama by the BBC. John Irvin directed and Jonathan Powell produced this adaptation of John le Carré's novel Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1974).

George Smiley (Alec Guinness), deputy to the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, is forced into retirement in the wake of Operation Testify, a failed spy mission to Czechoslovakia. Veteran British agent Jim Prideaux (Ian Bannen) had been sent to meet a Czech general, having been told the general had information identifying a deep-cover Soviet spy planted in the highest echelons of the British Secret Intelligence Service—known as the Circus, because of its headquarters at Cambridge Circus in London.
The Chief of the Circus, known only as Control (Alexander Knox), is disgraced for his role in Testify, and is replaced by his rival Percy Alleline (Michael Aldridge). Before his ousting, Control had narrowed his list of suspects to five men – Roy Bland (Terence Rigby), Toby Esterhase (Bernard Hepton), Bill Haydon (Ian Richardson), Alleline, and Smiley – all of whom occupied high positions in the Circus. Smiley, who had been fired along with Control while Control's other four suspects were promoted, is recalled by Oliver Lacon (Anthony Bate), a senior civil servant, and given instructions to expose the mole.
With the help of his protégé, Peter Guillam (Michael Jayston), who is still in the Circus, Smiley begins a secret investigation into the events surrounding Operation Testify, believing it will lead him to the identity of the mole, whom Moscow Centre has given the cover name Gerald.
