A new item for the trivia section


===While talking to Smiley about his encounter with Toby Esterhase, Ian Bannen's character Jim Prideaux says "He (Esterhase) said the Circus had nearly gone under due to Operation Testify and I'm currently the number one leper..." Years later, Bannen played a leper in Braveheart.===

It's very rare that one finds something that hasn't been put on imdb before, especially in older series/films, so I submitted it. I'm sure I'm not the first one who noticed it, so I was surprised that nobody had put it in yet.

Never be complete.

This link seems very tenuous.It has something to do with lateral thinking, perhaps.

Here's another idea that springs to my mind. Years ago I photographed a lost leper site in the Borders. Its existence was known but the site had been lost.

I was surprised not to see mention in the Trivia section that the alias Ricki Tarr chooses to use in the fake passport he has made while in Lisbon is "Poole", the name of the town John Le Carre was born in.
