I have just finished re-watching the 1979 "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" series with Alec Guinness. Such a wonderful piece of television, so beautifully filmed and constructed around a brilliant story. The acting is so wonderfully subtle.

Next up, "Smiley's People" from 1982 - I've not seen that before, so it'll be a complete surprise.

Its a shame they named it #andor and not Tinker Taylor Soldier Jedi.

I was shocked and found it hard to understand when I first read the apologia by Bill Hayden near the end of #TinkerTailorSoldierSpy around his attitudes to Russia and the US.

But I'm thinking a lot about it now (not the pro-Russia part).

So much of the 20th century and modernity has been viciously polluted by US exceptionalism, anticommunism and obscene capitalism.

Currently reading Bevins, The Jakarta Method, and heartbroken at how so much that was promising in 1955 was betrayed.

‘Conclave’ Screenwriter Peter Straughan Talks Adapting Robert Harris’ Bestseller, Season 2 Of ‘Wolf Hall’ And Bringing The Beatles’ George Harrison To The Screen

I couldn’t resist sharing the following, which I found here.

One day Lord Byron gave his publisher, John Murray, a handsomely bound Bible, its cover graced with a flattering inscription. Murray proudly displayed the book on a table where it would be seen by his many guests.

One day a visitor, admiring the book, noticed that at John 18:40, in the line ‘Now Barabbas was a robber,’ Byron had crossed out the word ‘robber’ and substituted… ‘publisher’.

You can probably figure out why I found it amusing!

The post from which I got the quote cites anecdotage.com as the source, but other websites dispute the attribution to Bryon. The Oxford Book of Essential Quotations, for example, gives:

Now Barabbas was a publisher.
 
also attributed, wrongly, to Byron

Thomas Campbell 1777–1844 Scottish poet: attributed, in Samuel Smiles A Publisher and his Friends: Memoir and Correspondence of the late John Murray (1891) vol. 1, ch. 14; see Bible

This goes to show two things: one is that not everything you find on the internet is true; the other is that very often the things that aren’t true really should be.

P.S. Fans of the classic TV series Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy will no doubt remember in Episode 1 that George Smiley uses the variation “Barabbas was a bookseller” when he is making a purchase in an antiquarian bookshop before he notices that he is being followed by Peter Guillam…
