Cambridge Spies

This mini-series' writer Peter Moffat said of this production: "This is the story of four young but devastatingly effective double-agents who knew from the start that they stood or fell together. Burgess is the loudest spy in the history of espionage, a gifted gob and wicked wit. Philby is the most successful spy of the lot, becoming Head of Counter-Intelligence in MI6. Blunt is cool, viciously funny and clever, while Maclean veers between being warm and friendly and drunk and difficult. Until Burgess and Maclean's desperate flight to Moscow on 23 June 1951 they live in each other's pockets.""

Guy Burgess is in a London flat eating Van Camps baked beans from a can. This brand is not available in England.
