Description 1 online resource (53 minutes) Series The Game Summary A stylish, edgy spy thriller set in the Cold War, where enemies and allies can't always be separated, and espionage means getting your hands dirty. When a defecting KGB officer reveals the existence of a devastating Soviet plot, codenamed Operation Glass, the charismatic but paranoid head of MI5, known simply as Daddy, assembles a secret committee of intelligence officers to investigate. Are they the best? Or are they the only ones he trusts in a world where double agents, secrets and lies are normality? They are Bobby Waterhouse, the louche and ambitious head of counter-espionage; Sarah Montag, his dry-witted and fiercely clever deputy; her husband Alan Montag, their cheerful and guileless expert in bugging and interception; Jim Fenchurch, a stoic and skeptical Special Branch police detective; and Wendy Straw, the naive and impressionable secretary. Finally, there's operative Joe Lambe, a troubled but genius interrogator who is able to read every tic and giveaway of human nature. But Joe has more to him than meets the eye - a dark past and a dangerous secret Notes Title from resource description page (viewed March 15, 2021) Credits Series music by Daniel Pemberton Cast Brian Cox, Tom Hughes, Jonathan Aris, Gemma Chan, Shaun Dooley, Victoria Hamilton, Marcel Iures, Steven Mackintosh, Zana Marjanovic, Judy Parfitt, Chloe Pirrie Notes In English Subject Soviet Union.
