Toby is the best! In the "Tinker, Tailor" movie he comes across as weak and easily manipulated. Here is the true Toby, smart, sharp, crooked. FANTASTIC.
@zuzulo56 I am not, could you explain? When Smiley was first interviewing the girl in the Sanitarium and she said she thought he was dangerous, just watch Guinness...you saw it in his face that he was. Brilliant acting.
@MrBasilGanglia I am pleased that you are not : ATHETOSIS, or constant writhing movements, is often caused by injury to deeply situated structures within the brain called the BASAL GANGLIA.
@zuzulo56 I am even more pleased. I knew the name came from pathways/connections in the brain, but that's about it. Liked it as a name and so I used it for YouTube.
I need to pull out my DVD of Smiley's People and watch it again. Brilliant.

@gmartinz01 Earlier, he was a "Leipzig", a bum...and like most Civil Service types, always on the down-low.

I loved Toby in this. The actor is great. Smiley's People is one of the best ever.

@MrBasilGanglia You are nothing but correct, on both counts! (Are you personally familiar with Athetosis?)

@geoffck6969 You're most kind to point that out! I've taken your inferred advice and changed it.
