My only criticism of the TV series is that watching it now, the quality of the picture and sound is a bit low budget almost like playing a 78rpm record on a state of the art hi-fi system.
Whereas, with most of today's productions it is the acting that is low budget - in quality if not in cost!


All the best

Strange, I thought the reason TTSS was a TV adaptation was because le Carré felt it couldn't be abridged into a film.
