Sleepers

If it seems to you that Russian official Zorin resembles Batman?s butler, Alfred Pennyworth, it?s because English character actor Michael Gough plays both roles.

After two KGB agents successfully infiltrate Britain in 1966, the Kremlin forgets about them for 25 years! Nothing could please Sergi and Vladimir more. Reborn as financier Jeremy Coward (Nigel Havers, Manchild, Chariots of Fire, A Perfect Hero) and happily married brewery worker Albert Robinson (Warren Clarke, Bleak House, Dalziel and Pascoe), they?ve become more British than the British. Enjoy the hilarity when Major Nina Grishina shows up to escort the ?sleeping? spies back to Moscow against their will. Soon MI-5 and the CIA jump into the act, and all bets are off. An oft-requested BBC mini-series from the first producer of Doctor Who. As seen on Masterpiece Theatre.
