I've series linked it, intending to have a feast of episodes one after the other.
I'll be avoiding this thread like the plague. I know what you fuckers are like for spoilers.  |

"I liked it but I need part of it explaining to me.
Whisper it - we don't want to post any spoilers.
Did you watch it ?
Yes I have, but Dirty Girl hasn't seen it yet.
"
Grrrrrrrrrrr! Bloody fingers.. for the third time of trying. I am going to ask anyway |

"Near the beginning, why did Sophie give the papers to Pine ?
Why would you just openly give the papers to a hotel manager ?
"
I don't know. I thought it was one of those plot devices that might become clear later.

Okay.
Well... a lurker that's read the book. ( nice young man ) suggests that Sophie knew that Pine had connections with the embassy and therefore gave him the papers knowing they'd be forwarded and that the British would safeguard her.
Didn't come across like that to me in the t.v. version.
Anyway.. I sort of feel that if she knew Pine was connected to the embassy then so would Hamid and Porter. |

Aha... I'm tempted to read the book. |

"No spoilers please, it a Le Carre book that I haven't read yet
 Same Here.
Please don't spoil it for us who have not read the book yet!"
How about you don't look at the thread that people are using to talk about the t.v. series...... ? |

"He's been very lucky.
who has ?"
Hiddleston - he's in everything at the moment. 
Jonathan Pine/Andrew Birch. He's managed to be charming and in the right place enough of the time.
I've managed to avoid the spoilers on the last episode.

The thread had been discussing the episodes already shown and anticipating ones to come. I just asked those who have already read the book not to spoil it for those of us who were watching the series having not read the book. Surely that is not too much to ask is it?  |

people have been good without discussing details. The series does have a different ending to the book.
Please everybody, try to refrain from spoiling it for the next week |

"Loving it .. Shame the rev got bumped off "
bumped ?? He was PUMELLED into the ground. You make it sound so polite.
My theory is that Roper knows about Pine... oh he knows and he is many steps ahead of him. |

There's got to be a massive twist.....
I think Roper's wife knows full well too. I think she will turn out to be somekind of a mata hari figure and will have fucked with Roper's consent to gain the trust of Pine and to see if Pine would be loyal to Roper or Fuck her and then BOOM.... Pine went and told her he was a British agent so...... tadaaaaaaaa she will have told Roper. I bet I bet I bet. |

Well View...... he dropped his kecks and slammed her against the wall and she panted like a woman taking a tiny one.....

Off COURSE he did. He vetted him left right and centre which is why the shipment was shipped and not roaded and Birch was kept in the dark ...... Roper was 'mid' vetting and kept Birch close..... very close. Besides Roper has feline qualities. He is enjoying playing with Birch .... letting him run and reeling him in..... just wait for tonight. This is pure supposition of course. Im not Le Carre.... even if I look like him. |

Yeah I like the feline description... it's just like that. I wonder if he'll make it out alive to become the next Bond!!  |

It was a great series. I think Mr Pine is getting a taste for international espionage and killing. Wonder where it will lead next?
I can't see them killing Roper though, until they get their $300m back! |

Different ending from the book; where Pine's handler tells Roper's MI6 freinds that he can bring down Roper, but if Roper lets Pine and the girl go, he won't expose him;
Roper lets Pine and the girl go, finishes his arms deal, and continues unchecked;
Pine and the Girl dissapear into obscurity, Pine's handler is discredited and drops out of sight . The corrupt guys carry on.
So a better ending for the " good guys" in the TV version,
But sufficiently ambiguous for a sequel (which apparently John le Carré is writing at the moment.)

Oh well I won't bother buying the book now. Thanks |

I prefer the ending in the book. It sits better with events throughout.
I thought the ending a little too simplistic - although I wasn't expecting Roper to be driven off by the Egyptian Mafia...... |

"Love John Le Carre
Did you see his cameo role in the penultimate episode. I didn't realise it was him.
Oh no I didn't realise!"
Well....... you know when Corky was d*unk in the restaurant and Pine offered to pay for the dinner on the other table ? |
