John le Carré’s best-selling spy novel comes to AMC
By Jacqueline Spendlove TV Media
I f “Game of Thrones” has taught us anything, it’s that some stories just can’t be told in two hours, so don’t even try it. These days, TV is the medium you turn to if you want to do a book justice in its translation to screen.
Two big-screen attempts at John le Carré’s “The Night Manager” have failed to get off the ground, but the new six-part TV miniseries has been a huge hit across the pond. By all accounts, the British espionage drama, adapted from the 1993 novel, is more than deserving of the longer format needed to flesh out its story and characters. Now, North American audiences can get a taste of the juicy spy series. “The Night Manager” is set to debut Tuesday, April 19, on AMC.
Airing on BBC One in the U.K., the series premiered in February to more than 10 million viewers, and has received heaps of praise in reviews. Le Carré’s best-selling novel — his first post-Cold War work — has been updated with a presentday setting and boasts a fantastic cast, most of whom you’ll probably recognize.
Tom Hiddleston, best known for playing Loki in the Thor and Avengers movies, leads the cast of “The Night Manager” as former British soldier Jonathan Pine. Following service in Iraq, Pine retreated into a solitary life as a nighttime hotel manager, but everything changes when he’s approached by Angela Burr (Olivia Colman, “Broadchurch”), who runs a London enforcement agency. Pine soon finds himself drawn into a world of crime and espionage as he’s tasked with infiltrating the inner circle of international arms dealer Richard Roper, played by Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie.
English actor Laurie has had a long and often comedic career in film and television, but American audiences may best recognize him as the curmudgeonly and acerbic Dr. Gregory House in “House.” He dons his not-such-a-nice-guy hat again as Roper, who’s described as “the worst man in the world,” de-
spite his charm, philanthropy and good breeding. His one
bicki, “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.,” 2015).
Pine must essentially become a criminal himself in order to get the
“The audience has to judge for themselves where Pine and Roper come close to crossing the line in opposite directions — where Roper might plunge the dagger into his own chest and where Pine might become the very thing he set out to destroy.”
Laurie knows what he’s talking about. A longtime admirer of le Carré, he’s been a huge fan of the book for more than 20 years, and has long desired to be involved in bringing the story to the screen.
his son, Simon Cornwell, is one of the show’s executive producers. So if nothing else, the material is in good hands.
Indeed, the show has been extremely well received, with The Huffington Post and others calling it “James Bond for the small screen.” It might just mean even bigger things for Hiddleston’s future as well, with the actor’s name being bandied about as a potential to play the next 007 on the big screen.
way he will go,”
Of course, in this type of project, there’s always the risk that diehard fans of the book will decry any deviations from the source material, but showrunners have handled these inevitable changes well.
“We did depart from the novel in some ways,” director Susanne Bier told Radio Times, “but we assured David Cornwell [le Carré’s real name] that these changes would be viable and would still follow his important goal — to hold true to the substance of the original story.”
For his part, the author has had a solid involvement with the project — besides a blink-and-you’llmiss-it cameo role. Additionally,
In the meantime, however, love for “The Night Manager” has been strong enough to warrant murmurings of a potential second season. Nothing’s confirmed, but le Carré is reportedly involved in discussions to that effect with the BBC, as a second season would require him to write new material that would allow the series to extend beyond the scope of his original work.
For now, though, it remains to be seen whether the series will enjoy the same success with North American audiences as it has across the pond. Tune in when “The Night Manager” makes its U.S. debut Tuesday, April 19, on AMC.

Who hasn’t been there? You’re in a strange city — be it on a vacation, a business trip or just a stopover — and you’re hungry, but you’ve got a tight budget. No problem: grab a cheap bite to eat and you’re good to go.
But what if you only have $35? And what if that money has to feed you for the whole day — that’s breakfast, lunch, dinner and even an afternoon snack? And what if you’re a bit of a foodie who doesn’t want to order off of the value menu at a chain restaurant? Impossible, right?
Wrong, apparently, and Ali Khan
is out to prove it in his new Cooking Channel show, “Cheap Eats.” The six-episode series, which premieres Tuesday, April 19, puts the food blogger in exactly that cash-starved situation.
Each episode finds him in a new city with only $35 and 12 hours to prove that great food can also have a great price tag.
In the series premiere, he visits beautiful Austin, Texas, with a craving for local cuisine. Breakfast is an easy one to figure out: migas tacos are a local specialty, and Khan tracks down a roadside stop where he can get a great start to the day without emptying his bank account.
Of course, lunch has to be Texas-

style barbecue, and dinner a fullblown bayou experience, with a tasty buttery pastry snack sandwiched in between. It’s amazing that he can find that much food — great food — for so cheap, but Khan’s not one to compromise on quality.
Khan has previously appeared on Food Network in “Grill It With Bobby Flay” and “Best Thing I Ever Made.” At the young age of 26, he was made senior editor of BlackBook Magazine’s Los Angeles Din-
ing and Nightlife Guide. He’s a guy who knows what to eat and where to get it, and in “Cheap Eats,” he’s finally sharing these tips with TV audiences.
In future episodes, Khan visits Chicago, Boulder and Albuquerque, but everywhere he goes the rules stay the same: $35 and 12 hours to feed himself, and he has to eat well. But first, he has a rumbling stomach and a layover in Austin.
“Cheap Eats” premieres Tuesday, April 19, on Cooking Channel.
