Ponces and Spies...
Another quote from The Cambridge Spies because I got it for my birthday and I'm watching it again because I really enjoyed it last time...
Queen: "Never trust a man with a bad moustache. Homosexualists never have moustaches... Have you noticed? I think it's a signal... To other chaps... 'Look! No moustache! Come and get me!' Ponces and spies, Anthony. The people with the most to hide never have moustaches. So which are you, Anthony? Ponce or spy?"
Anthony Blunt: "Oh... A little of both... Aren't we all?"

I wasn't aware the series was out on DVD. I missed all of it when it was on TV to my great regret. Thanks for tipping me off, it's on order now.
Have you read John Banville's The Untouchable (a beautiful novel of betrayal - of country, family and self - loosely based on Anthony Blunt?)

Bit of a ditto post really. I also never saw the series but recommend The Untouchable, and pretty much any Banville, wholeheartedly. Best writer of a sentence around.
