Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy's award-winning British spy thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy has become available on the BBC. Based on John le Carré's 1974 novel of the same name, the film is regularly held up as one of the best modern iterations of the genre by critics, with The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw naming it a "masterpiece" and "the magnum opus" of Le Carré adaptations. Released in 2011, the film earned three BAFTA awards, including Outstanding British Film, and three Oscar nominations.
