Charlie Muffin (1x9)

Air date: Dec 11, 1979

Charlie Muffin doesn’t ‘fit in’ with the ‘old school tie’ model of espionage agent: despite his flirtatious relationship with Cuthbertson’s Moneypenny-esque secretary, Charlie is no romantic James Bond-style globetrotting spy, but rather a down-at-heels intelligence agent in the manner of Callan or Harry Palmer
