Superb production design, unfussy in the detail in the way some period dramas get bogged down by. And all directed with Alfredson's (and/or his cinematographer's) extrordinary eye for slick shot composition. Can't wait to see what he does next . . .
Towards the end of last year i started buying as many Cold War thrillers as i could and really got into them - The Ipcress File, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Scorpio, Funeral in Berlin, Billion Dollar Brain to name but a few.

I was really looking forward to Tinker Tailor... and ended up so disappointed.
