Heads up that BBC Four is repeating the excellent Dennis Potter play Traitor, starring John Le Mesurier, on Wednesday and it'll be on iPlayer after bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03…

If you’d like to discover what the KGB were up to in London NW3 you can book at walks.com/our-walks/the-…. The next walk is sold out but we’ve added some extra ones during the summer.

Does anyone else skip over fight scenes in their spy reading? I hadn't realised I was doing that until today. On the whole, fight scenes just bore me. PS spot the obvious error in this AI image, designers I think your jobs are safe for the moment. #spybrary

What's the best book you've read in 2024 so far? Spy or otherwise.
