Rank the best British spy thrillers — which one had you glued to the sofa?

Gary Oldman broods magnificently as George Smiley in this atmospheric adaptation of le Carré's classic. Every glance feels loaded with secrets.

Daniel Craig, Judi Dench and a moody Scottish showdown make this arguably the finest 007 outing of the modern era. Adele's theme still gives goosebumps.

Harry Palmer is the anti-Bond: working class, bespectacled and permanently fed up. A stylish slice of 60s British cool.

Gary Oldman (again) leads the misfits of Slough House in Apple TV's gloriously scruffy spy series. Sharp, funny and properly gripping.

Craig's brutal, bruised debut stripped 007 back to basics with a poker table, a Vesper Martini and a heart-shattering finale.
