Secret War: Double Agent Tricycle

Dr.Docs' Take

Secret War profiles Dusko Popov, the playboy double agent codenamed Tricycle, who lived like a gambler among Britain's elite while feeding Germany exactly what MI5 wanted them to believe. I love a spy story where the disguise is a champagne lifestyle. Popov may even have carried an early warning about Pearl Harbor that got ignored. A dazzling reminder that the best double agents win by being impossible to take seriously.

This episode of Secret War follows Dusko Popov, the lawyer, gambler and charmer who played the playboy to become one of the war's most audacious double agents. Codenamed Tricycle, he moved among Britain's high society while deceiving German intelligence. Through his exploits it reveals the nerve and theatre of wartime espionage. It is a gripping watch for anyone drawn to spies and double lives. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
