Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is a seven-part miniseries based on the first book in John le Carré's The Quest for Karla trilogy; it aired in 1979 and starred Alec Guinness as British Intelligence officer George Smiley. He reprised the role in Smiley's People, made in 1981 and based on the third book in the same trilogy.note The middle installment, The Honourable Schoolboy, takes place mostly in 1970s Hong Kong and Cambodia, so was quite naturally deemed too difficult to film due to budget constraints. Together, they chronicle Smiley's conflict with his opposite number in Moscow Centre, a legendary spymaster known as Karla (Patrick Stewart), and thematically deal with the minutiae of spy work and the emotional toll it wreaks on people's lives. | |

Adaptational Attractiveness | |
| Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy / int_557838d1 | comment |
Adaptational Attractiveness: George Smiley is described in Call for the Dead as short, plump, and always wearing ill-fitting clothes so he resembles a "shrunken toad". Which doesn't sound like Alec Guinness at all. | |

Arc Words | |

Arc Words: Control's words that "There are three of them, and Alleline". They get repeated through the series until the penultimate episode, when Smiley clears one of the suspects with the remark "There are two of them, and Alleline." | |

Actually Pretty Funny: Haydon can't help but chuckle the entire way through Peter's interrogation by the Circus leaders, where Guillam snarks at Alleline the entire time. | |

As You Know: George Smiley puts out a couple of milkbottles on the steps of a safehouse, then goes inside and confirms that this is, in fact, the correct 'It's safe to come in' signal. | |
