A very well researched and presented documentary which goes behind the headlines. It provides the full back story of how someone with a privileged background and education decided to become a traitor to his friends, family and country to spy for a foreign power, naively thinking he was doing the right think for a moral cause - Soviet communism ! History has proved how wrong he was.
Another reviewer has given a very low rating (politically motivated ?) because they did not like the presenter. Ben Macintyre just happens to be an enthusiastic expert on the topic, and provides a well paced guide along this tortuous tale. If only more documentaries were this well researched and produced.
