TIETOJA TÄSTÄ JAKSOSTA
We’re Angus Blair and David Ludlow. We met at Cambridge at a time when a discreet chat over a sherry with a well connected tutor or an intriguing letter in your pigeon hole were still key entry points to the secret world.
We chose a safer life… and then decided to spend it retracing the footsteps of people who didn’t.
In this series, we’re travelling to the world’s great espionage capitals visiting the real bars, hotels, safe houses and backstreets where spies lied, flirted, betrayed and occasionally changed history.
From the Cambridge Five to Mata Hari, from double agents to double-crosses we’re meeting them where it all happened.
Pull up a chair. Just don’t say who sent you.
