Smiley's episodes at the link (near the bottom), with some other stuff.

The part with Beryl Reed and Guinness is incredible. You'll probably watch it multiple times. I did.

I liked Taggart in the nineties and The Avengers in the late sixties. Emma Peel was definitely
doable way back then.

Remains Of The Day and Howards End, I think, were decent movies in the nineties or late eighties.

I liked Taggart ok.....Only saw the later seasons and it felt a little clunky and plated. Rhebus was quite good if you like the Edinburgh backdrop for your copper shows.
