I actually liked the casting, it was an unusual and unexpected arrangement but everyone really shined. BBC version was okay, but felt really low budget. The sound for example was pretty bad for a BBC production.

Farty Slow Horses Oldman could have pulled off a good Smiley, too. But 2011 Oldman? The same year he did Deathly Hallows? Not a chance. Smiley not being like 2011-era Gary Oldman is one of his most important character traits. Also: Toby Jones is fantastic and it would have been great to see more of him. It was a good movie and true in all other respects to the book.
