Our absorption in espionage stories has produced an explosion of heroes, books and films. This event is dedicated to two real-life spies, Klop Ustinov and Geoffrey Pyke, whose audacious lives in the first half of the 20th century could hardly have been dreamt up by the best scriptwriters. Broadcaster Peter Day, author of Klop: Britain’s Most Ingenious Secret Agent, and Henry Hemming, author of Churchill’s Iceman – The True Story of Geoffrey Pyke: Genius, Fugitive, Spy present these two men’s astounding stories. Their conversant is fellow spy-master Mike Rossiter, author of The Spy Who Changed the World.
