Фильм о члене знаменитой "пятёрки" Кима Филби, разоблачённого в 1963 году. В 1964 стало известно, что в шпионской группе был известный учёный-искусствовед, хранитель картинной галереи королевы-матери сэр Энтони Блант. На Москву он работал больше 30 лет. Отец Энтони Бланта был одним из иерархов англиканской церкви, а по материнской линии он приходился родственником королевской семье. Бланта завербовал во время учёбы в Кембридже Гай Бёрджес: он сначала стал одним из многочисленных любовников Бёрджеса, а потом и его сообщником. До королевской картинной галереи Энтони Блант работал в британской контрразведке. Фильм показывает период перед его разоблачением. Скандал замяли, и лишь спустя 7 лет после разоблачения, 15.11.1972, Маргарет Тэтчер, ставшая премьер-министром, выступила в палате общин с сообщением о том, кем на самом деле был сэр Энтони Блант. А ещё через несколько дней его лишили должности, всех академических титулов и рыцарского звания. Он умер в одиночестве 26.03.1983.

Zigger Zagger is a 1967 play by Peter Terson which was the first work to be commissioned by the National Youth Theatre who revived it at Wilton's Music Hall in 2017 for its 50th anniversary. Described as a "football opera" in which the cast sing and chant like a Greek chorus, the play was an instant success. The production was directed by Michael Croft while the Musical Director was Colin Farrell. Adopted later by non-league giant killers, Altrincham FC.
