Probably plenty of members here are ancient enough to remember "The Ipcress File"  with Harry Palmer playing spy games in the sixties cold war.

 

A new mini-series has just been made and is available now.  He's no Michael Caine, but Joe Cole, in the main role, grows on you.

There's a little secret to pleasing most on here.

 

Just recommend a British spy or police drama..

Enjoyed the movie and book back when, also Funeral in Berlin.

Liked LeCarre's Cold War stuff.  When Brit TV put out their "Tinker Tailor . . ." series I was blown away by how Alec Guinness's depiction of Smiley was so much like the image of him I had while reading the book.

And then a few years ago they remade it into a movie, which I really disliked.  A bisexual Peter Guillam?  Played by Cumberbatch?  When he was roughing up some guy I thought he'd hit him with his purse.  Didn't like the Smiley actor either.  Keeping away from remakes these days. 

They never did Honorable Schoolboy, did they?  Pity, Joss Ackland was a great Jerry Westerby.

"Tokyo vice"

[xylophone]

I watched a new adventure movie last night called "Uncharted" and as it had Mark Wahlberg in it, I was looking forward to it............but it turned out to be a lot of CGI lightweight nonsense, along the lines of "Indiana Jones" but nowhere near the quality.

 

The night before I downloaded, "Spotlight" (again) and as luck would have it, I managed to get an extremely good quality version of it, and thoroughly enjoyed it yet again!

I fully endorse this show.

It is a precursor to YellowStone

I enjoyed it , but not too popular with the critics

[masterpasser]

I am sure The StairCase has already been critiqued -If you haven't seen it , its an absolute must

I expected so much more from this show - The main character Harry Palmer was not convincing for me . I kept referring back to Michael Caine's Harry Palmer in the original
