A 1983 BBC radio adaptation starring Peter Vaughan as George Smiley and Martin Jarvis as Jerry Westerby.
The discovery and death of the mole within the Circus has left it crippled and distrusted, its resources reduced to nil. George Smiley decides to go on the attack. He will deliver intelligence without resources. He begins to take backbearings, to trace the sources that the mole had deliberately suppressed. Before long, he finds a pattern and a path. A path that leads, not only to the Far East, but, inevitably, to Karla.
A two-part drama by Frederick Bradnum, aired on BBC Radio 4 in January 1983 and released as an audio cassette.
