Used to love watching this show as a teen in the evening. I think the guy that used to be in Rumpole of the Bailey was also in it?

what happened to the episodes?

Reilly has to be one of the most fascinating men I've read about. "The Ace of Spies" is a wonderful documentation of his life.

The fucking russians got him.

@xr6lad yes, it was Leo McKern who played Rumpole of the Bailey and Basil Zaharoff in this one

@Giuelith wasn't the claim as a double agent made clear in the series.... his British employers suspected he was a double agent for the Russians, or were working with him to play the role of double agent ??
