The Real Spies Among Friends
8pm, ITV1
The drama A Spy Among Friends (which concludes after this documentary) has done a fine job of telling the story of Kim Philby and his Russia-affiliated friends who infiltrated the highest levels of the British establishment. Presented by Ben Macintyre, this film explores Philby’s journey from Washington DC to London and eventually to Moscow. A story of betrayal that also has much to say about the structural weakness caused by elitism in the upper echelons of British life. Phil Harrison
