And no Pete, I haven't watched the film. It's the book for me - I seldom go to the cinema, and my telly went belly-up nearly six months ago. I don't miss it, somehow.

I am very impressed with make-up artists and costume designers for films. You would never guess this was the same guy who was in the Harry Potter films! At least I wouldn't have.

Depends on whether this is supposed to be Alec Guinness as George Smiley, or Gary Oldman! I haven't seen Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. If it is Gary Oldman, then he was Sirius Black in Harry Potter. Mind you, even if this is Alec Guinness, I can't recognize him!

Eddie,did Alec Guinness and Laurence Olivier ever work together at all?

I saw Alec Guiness in Chichester, he walked past me in a car park and looked exactly like the George Smiley picture above - even the hat. He seemed a quiet little old man that you wouldn't look twice at. I later saw him on stage at the Chichester Theatre and he just dominated the stage with a really powerful performance and it was difficult to imagine that it was the same person that I had seen in the car park.
