When you've seen Another country, it's quite funny to compare the version of this story by Rupert Everett (sassy, but delicate) and the less ... distinguished one by Tom Hollander. They both did a wonderful job picturing Birgess.
Beautiful. Hollander's part is full of very fine lines, like the BBC moment in the 2nd episode... "The BBC means everything to me." "What does it stand for?" "British Broadcasting Corporation."
This is one of my favourite films EVER.The bbc have done such a fine job, the script is amazing, the clothes and scenery is perfect, and the casting and acting is some of the best ive ever seen. everyone seems perfect in their role dont they? what a scene though, flops before rigamortis etc. outrageous burgess.

this was an OK effort but it cut off too short at the end, prior to their lives in the USSR...indeed a lot fo the 4th episode is kinda wasted.

Must be a thrill for an actor...

They had some great jokes and one-liners. "...and broke his arm. Well, he was dead anyway so he didn't really mind..."
