Cambridge Spies

Miniseries

Miniseries

First aired in 2003, the four-part miniseries dramatizes the notorious actions of four Cambridge University students who are recruited in 1934 to spy for Russia. The larger-than-life Englishmen - Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, Harold `Kim' Philby and Anthony Blunt - betray their country by passing vital information to the Soviets during World War Two and the early stages of the Cold War. The series portrays how the men have unshakeable faith in their beliefs - that what they are doing is right and that fascism is the enemy.
