I remember all the talk when this miniseries came out in 1979, and now I get to see it again! This is a fascinating story, a mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat, as Smiley tracks his mole. I enjoyed this miniseries (on 3 DVDs) as much now, as I did then, and do not hesitate to recommend it to you.

The aging head of the British Secret Intelligence Service ("the Circus") has discovered that the Soviets have a very highly-placed mole within his organization. However, before he can discover who the mole is, he dies of natural causes, taking the secret of the mole's existence with him. However, when the mole is again suspected, the government has no one to turn to, except for the retired spymaster, George Smiley (played by Alec Guinness). Trusting no one inside the Circus, Smiley must discover who the mole is, and plug the leak.
