    Episode 1 of 3

    Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes

    Three-part drama series based on the Robert Littell bestseller of CIA intrigue. It is 1954 and three university friends enter the shadowy spy game. Jack is a CIA field agent in Berlin, Leo is a rising strategist for the Agency in Washington, and Yevgeny is recruited by the KGB to work undercover. All of them face futures of betrayal and tragedy.

    While its great BBC2 is showing this they could have screened them weekly instead of every night 00.20 Wednesday/Thursday/Friday (ie Tues/Wed/Thurs night)

    It has already been broadcast twice, in 2007 and in 2009.

    Hardly a candidate for another Primetime outing.

    Spotted this show & love a bit of cold war espionage. Late time slot means it won't clash with any other shows fro DVR time.

    Great series and great book. Have BBC hired some RTE programme schedulers?
