Barnaby Kayâs gripping drama explores what really happened during 1966 prison breakout by Russian spy 14 January, 2021 â By Lucy Popescu BREAKING Blake opens in October 1966 with a memorable football match â England against Northern Ireland â and a prison breakout. George Blake (Michael Maloney), a Russian spy, has just escaped from Wormwood Scrubs. It was initially assumed that the KGB had masterminded his escape, but Barnaby Kayâs gripping drama explores what really happened. In 1961, two anti-nuclear campaigners, Michael Randle (Elliot Levey) and Pat Pottle (Tony Gardner), were imprisoned after entering a US air force base in Essex. They were charged under the official secret acts â for attempting to stop nuclear weapons being loaded onto a plane â and received 18-month sentences. ....
IT WAS one of those gloriously serendipitous coincidences. In the Morning Star of December 28 late last year Nick Wright gave us an analytical obituary of spy and novelist John Le Carre and the writer’s undoubted deep understanding of the Cold War.

George Blake, as he came to be known, along with that other great British export of betrayal, Kim Philby, was always convinced that to authentically betray, you had to belong.

MASTER spy George Blake has died at the age of 98 in Moscow. For nine years during the Cold War he spied for the Soviet Union from inside the British intelligence services. He was caught in 1961 and jailed for 42 years, the longest sentence for a crime other than murder ever handed down in the UK. He escaped from Wormwood Scrubs prison in 1966 to live out his days in Moscow as a Soviet hero. Russian President Vladimir Putin described him as an “outstanding professional of special courage and life endurance”. “Throughout the years of his hard and strenuous efforts he made a truly invaluable contribution to ensuring the strategic parity and the preservation of peace on the planet. ....
