A British diplomat tries to find the truth about his wife’s death in Kenya
This political thriller is based on the 2001 John le Carré novel of the same name and features a scene at London Waterloo International with a couple of Class 373 Eurostar EMU sets present. In a bizarre continuity error, the train’s departure is depicted with a drivers-eye view of a train leaving Berlin Hauptbahnhof, and an aerial shot of a Eurostar power car, possibly No.3017, leaving Waterloo! There is also a scene filmed at Canary Wharf Underground station.
