but the twist is that Francis really liked it and the star Mike Gwilym and was inspired to write more about Sid - the result being

I did not know that! I read
Whip Hand
before
Odds Against
and never thought about any differences between the two. That's like the way Alec Guinness' portrayal of Smiley in the BBC
Tinker, Tailor
influenced le Carré's writing of the character when he returned in
Smiley's People
.
