@@ScottieMcClue you don’t have to shout.

I stumbled on this channel showing this and North Sea Hijack and didn't even notice it was you Mr McClue. Dinky Doo to you sir.

Not a lot of people know that 😊

@@WhatstheSizzle thanks!

Forsyth's book was excellent. Much has been eliminated from the film because of time constraints but an excellent representation of the main elements. Read the book if you can. It fills in some of the blind spots from the movie.

@@WhatstheSizzle 👍👍👍

You're farther than nearer? Or do you mean FATHER?

@@hpoonis2010 correcting typos on youtube or facebook is, generally speaking, a sign that you should put down the bottle, or look for a hobby.

Well said, but is that a bottle in front of me or a frontal lobotomy

Pleasure 🙏

A great pleasure 🙏 ☺️

@@makucevich they made some great haunted house movies as well. But yes, Just brilliant espionage films and My favorite is tinker Taylor and of course Smiley's people...

@@makucevich Fred Zinnemann's Day of the Jackal 1973. Is one of my favorite political thrillers

Le Carre' best of the bunch! Tinker, tailor, soldier and Spy! 🤔🗡️

Just started watching The Sandbaggers. A few episodes in and it's great 👍

Yeah, all they were doing, was trying to start world war 3. Today we have all this woke nonsense, and transgender crap. I agree, bring back the old days.

That was too good for him.

I didn't recall Phil by went the way of ordered execution. Thought I read he just drank vodka quiet oh in his Moscow apartment. Any updates friends?

"Romantic life prospects" so tragically ending up with bitter complaints on internet about life blaming Boris - or James.... What's the matter with you , weepy Brits????

Although it was the best thing and a beautiful wish I had, frankly, and I'm saying this with full respect .. It was the worst thing that could happen to me cause at my biological pick ( 20s, 30s and now in my 40s ) as far as for what I loved and what was rolling and coming later. It's hard to explain, especially public on a social net, a platform .. ect.

@@kasnilistopadski Intriguing, vague and yet intelligent and complex comment, stating more ideas than the original book by Frederick Forsyth. Arguably more engaging than the movie -- usually, books are richer and more challenging. After all, a book appeals to our creativity...

@@albertseabra9226 It was a personal side comment, compelled to write it reading comments. I've red maybe 5-6 box in my life, all of them in my elementary school and yeah, it was enough to know books are far more intriguing - that's normal, not to be judged too harsh when movies come to comparement. The comment was a comment to my self. Take care, enjoy the movie. Cheers

@@kasnilistopadski Thank you for sharing.

I helps to base it on good book too.

Absolutely 💯

Great pleasure 🙏 ☺️

Forsyth, who live a life easily comparable to the most romantic spy fiction characters, tend to write about faction: fiction based upon known facts.

@@conormcmenemie5126That is the appeal of his work.

@@martaalvarez4859 Great guy Freddie

@@tonygriffin_ one of Freddie's best, after the Day of the Jackal and the Odessa File.

Now if they'd had Sabine Schmitz to drive the Transit, they'd have caught him easily . . . .

Thank You 😊

Outstanding Movie

Different Genres

Thank You 😊

I simply have very little money these days.

It was Frederick Forsyth, the author

@@DraigBlackCat Thank you :}

How about the new Russian threats... not to mention the BRICS which the USA cannot join... ???

A Pleasure 🙏 Dinky-Doo

A Scotsman - superb actor 👏

@@ScottieMcClue was also Bill Haydon in the original Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy!

Ian Richardson could turn his hand to anything, remember the booze cruise?

@@kenstevens5065 no what was that?

@@nhmooytis7058 sorry wrong reply address.

I thought he was a little too heavy weight for this film, but maybe not.

Who knows 🤷‍♂️

Better we don’t know

If you wanna learn about a REALLY close call, look up "Able Archer 1983" when most of West Europe almost got turned into a glass-topped parking lot. I was living in East Germany at the time. It was when the Soviets armed their nukes and placed aircrews in East Germany and Poland on full alert. In the nick of time, “Topaz” saved the day, scant minutes before the Soviets pressed the titty. “Topaz” was the code-name of the crack East German spy in NATO headquarters in Brussels, Rainer Rupp (who was a West German and spied out of conviction rather than for money). He urgently contacted his Stasi handler, Oberst Karl Rehbaum, the first deputy to the head of Department A XII responsible for NATO and EU (or at that time EC) intelligence, in Berlin, Capital of the GDR and assured him that the NATO military exercise Able Archer was just that and not a cover for a real attack. That message was hurriedly passed on to the Soviet leadership in Moscow and the dangerous situation was defused. MsG

Have you not heard of the latest threats from Russia???

A great pleasure 🙏 ☺️

A great pleasure 🙏 ☺️

Great Actors - Ian was a Scot who trained at RSAMD now RCS so did I 😉

​@ScottieMcClue Wow! Thank you for sharing some of your background. I'm floored. You've walked the path of the greats! I'm mightily and truly impressed indeed. You must have a treasure chest of life experiences and memories. You must be extremely skilled. I just watched a short video of Richardson reading Paradise Lost, then his interview on working with Alec Guiness in Tinker Tailor. I was struck by Ian's remarkable observations, humility and enthusiasm working with Guiness. Of course I expected a brilliant mind, but not such gentle modesty and attitude of grateful student to his craft.

Sound Advice

Definitely not a good idea to handle the eastern bloc plastic explosive with bare skin, or poor ventilation. Nausea and headaches will soon follow. On the flip side, the western bloc plastic explosives like are much more user friendly. Of course, it is always relevant to date and place of manufacture, so I generalise.

@@Mike-jy6lo OMG Everybody is expert in explosives except me. 😅

@@noelhall945 handling discs of Polonium isn’t a great idea either.

Try listening to short wave radio Moscow English transmissions. All presenters are Russian Born and have, in most cases, never left Mother Russia but speak in emaculet American accents. Also in former Soviat controlled Ukraine there are two possiblely three replicas of Great British towns compleat with a medieval style Church of England church. Those training towns were populated with English speaking Russians who were up to date with all the local standard speech and slan Which during the height of the cold War were used to train Soviet deep cover agents. So they could blend in seamlessly with the Great British population. Every thing British was used in those sudo towns right down to Great British currency and full post office use and G.P.O. late on BT telephone systemes

Arguably one of the greatest of the 20th century.

We all love Ned Beatty.

Despite the production company's name, this is definitely *_not_* a rank movie. One of Forsyth's better stories.

A Pleasure 🙏 ☺️

Absolutely 💯

I introduced them all on ITV

@ScottieMcClue Fantastic! This was real wrestling compared to the US fakety fake. I recollect there was a masked wrestler who to my knowledge never lost and had his mask removed. Great times! Then in the evenings Hammer House of Horror!

No, Not a shovel just a garden trowel

Wonderful

Who were the two major Brit actors?

@@texasbluebonnet4303 define average

Its not.

@@texasbluebonnet4303 🤣🤣🤣

I don't know how old you are Tex or how you grew up where etc. In the mid 70s I had nuns telling us when ( not if but when) the Russians invade run into the bush because they will shoot all beliviers, almost like 1950s drills duck and cover when told to in preparation for Skylab falling, lived I'm fear with Ronald Reagan making more MX missiles. Now I simply don't care. Nuke me, invade me, zombie apocalypse, cows with guns, whatever. The cold war man how mad is humanity
