Something I love about Smiley’s People - mainly talking the TV adaptation here - is how it moves the characters on from Tinker Tailor. Lacon seems less slimy, I think, while Smiley is harder edged, completely out of patience with everyone. See his reaction to basically everything Saul Enderby says.

I do like the way lacon is simultaneously ultra-slimy but also actually very good at his job

Christmas might be over now ... But New Year's is around the corner. My Christmas song from this year ends with Auld Lang Syne so technically it's a New Year song too... Maybe youtu.be/wqEhaW0EGoY?...

Watched the HBO Yacht Rock thing the other night. It was fun. Much of the discourse around it is so dumb though. Don't want to engage.
