Breaking Blake

Available for 3 days

George Blake, a member of MI6, passed secrets to the Russians and was sentenced to an unprecedented term of 42 years imprisonment. But after only four years, he was sprung from Wormwood Scrubs. Many assumed the KGB was behind the daring break-out. The truth is much stranger. Barnaby Kay revisits this incredible story.
