Scrooge is a miserly old businessman in 1840's London. One Christmas Eve he is visited by the ghost of Marley, his dead business partner. Marley foretells that Scrooge will be visited by three spirits, each of whom will attempt to show Scrooge the error of his ways. Will Scrooge reform his ways in time to celebrate Christmas?
Well-received version of an extremely familiar morality tale.

Another masterful interpretation of a John Le Carre spy novel. Sir Alec again plays Smiley, the retired spymaster whom some say was sacked after the 'Czech scandal'. He is brought out of retirement to track down an enemy infiltrator in the department where he was once the prize employee.
