Jeremy does a much better Fleming than my Dulles. You can almost picture the cigarette holder in the corner of his mouth!

Warning ⚠️ Includes me doing an impromptu impression of Fleming, with Jeff as a much more convincing Allen Dulles. I also say Frederick Forsyth wrote 'Exocet' - that was of course Jack Higgins.

Resurfacing an episode from several years ago that highlighted Len Deighton's care for others.
He brought together some of the best spy authors to honor one of the spy greats - Eric Ambler.

I was very sad to hear of Len Deighton’s passing. He was a true literary legend, as illustrated in @MattNixson’s wonderful tribute -

The loss of Len Deighton at 97 is sad, but sadness is temporary.
What endures is his legacy of characters and stories, illustrations and recipes, that have given pleasure to readers around the world for over 60 years.
Thank you, Len.

Very sad to hear that Len Deighton has died. What a brilliant writer. Loved the Game, Set & Match trilogy also SS GB and Bomber, perhaps his greatest work. And the covers! They don't make them like this any more.

I'm just at the end of Smiley's People (novel) where he has laid everything bare in front of Saul Enderby who keeps offering him a drink and is ignored.
