The Russia House 1/4 by John le Carré
Ойын-сауық
Cold war espionage thriller, adapted for radio. Starring Tom Baker.
An English book publisher (Baker) is approached by a mysterious woman wielding a bulky manuscript, at a book fair behind the Iron Curtain, and asked to keep a promise he had made to publish a volume of memoirs written by a Soviet scientist. But the memoirs are of more than passing interest to British military intelligence, as they seem to contain clues to the top secret workings of a nuclear weapons system.
Adapted for radio by the BBC, from the novel, as a full cast dramatisation.
By John le Carre , dramatised by Rene Basilico , and starring Tom Baker as Barley Blair and Valentina Yakunina as Katya.

Thank you for this upload.❤🎉
This is going to be a great story, can't wait to listen part 2, 3 and 4. P. S I do like Tom Bakers voice.
And it always sounds like one of the cast from Tinker Tailor…as well
There is a theme running through this though - Portugal, disillusioned yet committed people ( think the honourable schoolboy) and redemption does arrive…
Is that Tom Baker..

Who else could it be?
Yikes. Not fair, but after seeing the film, and Michelle Pfeiffer, that rather unattractive voice of the woman Katya is rather off-putting. See how it develops.
Yes , every Le Carre cliche is here ! The usual bunch of supercilious ex public school boys who think they are doing a REALLY important job. Even the dialogue seems clapped out and tired .

Perhaps you would upload one of the plays or books you have written for our enjoyment.

Personally I love it. Mind you I am a public school boy and though not supercilious rather clapped out and tired.
