The Spy Who Became Stalin's Greatest | A Bomb In The Pram | 1

Aimen Dean talks Raza Jaffrey through the highs and lows of his eight years as an undercover agent and why he chose to spy for the British rather than the Americans. 

He also describes how he felt after his cover was blown when an American writer disclosed his identity with details that could only be sourced to Dean; and what his life has been like since. 

And Raza gets his chance to find whether the spy movies and TV series he's been involved in have anything to do with real life.
