The BBC George Smiley Radio Dramas with Mac Rogers – Part 2

The le Carré Cast - A podcast on John le Carré novels

I’m excited to welcome back Mac Rogers, playwright and audio dramatist to continue to discuss the BBC George Smiley radio dramas.

In this second of three parts we dig into some of the biggest of le Carré’s novels – The Spy Who Came in from the Cold and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Plus we discuss The Lookingglass War.

We also talk the star power this audio series brought, Brian Cox as Alec Leamas pre-Succession, and the trickiness of adapting Tinker Tailor for an audio drama.

All that and more in this episode.
