Some facts about the real Guy Burgess that also give you a very good idea of the miniseries Guy Burgess: 1. Guy picked up men by telling them the (mostly true) story of how his father died having sex, and Guy was the one who found him. 2. Guy would get raging drunk and tell people that he was a Communist spy (which, you know, he was) and no one believed him because it sounded so ridiculous. 3. After Guy defected to Moscow, he continued to have Saville Row tailored suits shipped to him from England.
Melodramatic, larger-than-life, devastatingly charming, and usually drunk, he is also somehow Anthony's best friend. And Anthony misses him so much, oh my goodness.
Gimme.
