21, is the story of Danny Holt (Ben Whishaw), a young gay man who falls love wh a stranger and sudnly fds himself the middle of a high-profile mystery volvg the secury servic, the Fleet Street prs, his iend and former spy Sttie (Jim Broadbent), and his lover’s mother, played wh extraordary rtrat by Charlotte Ramplg.

I spoke wh the show’s creator, Tom Rob Smh, about how the show me to beg, why the central characters had to be gay, and what ’s like to work wh Ben Whishaw.

‘LONDON SPY’: TOM ROB SMH ON GAY LOVE STORI

For so long gay people were exclud om the secury servic, whereas beg gay might be a better ditn that you’d be a good spy than beg good at math or crossword puzzl. There was a history of famo gay spi England.

It’s now this huge irony that the Wt has gay marriage and equaly, and Mosw has gone back time to prejudice and tolerance.

I also wanted to addrs this notn that somehow beg gay mak you trsilly ls reliable, which was, I gus, the premise of the ban on beg gay at MI6, which was force until the late ‘90s.

I really enjoyed Danny’s relatnship wh Sttie, partly bee Sttie is a great character, but also for the mentorship that may be a ltle ls important the days but has been a tradnal part of gay life: You learn about gay history form olr gay people.
