Post by: Snoopy on September 20, 2009, 03:39:33 PM: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00mpmzh Offers some explanation.

No it is not every other week. It is a "season" of John LeCarre stories spread over a period of time. Basically it is the story of "Smiley" LeCarre's main character although George Smiley is only a small part of some of the stories. The current story is based on LeCarre's novel "The Looking Glass War"
