...they fall for conspiracy theorists. The best-selling book in the U.S. about British intelligence is, after all, Peter Wright's Spycatcher. A couple of the stories that he put in there that are complete nonsense are still widely believed: that there was a plot against former Prime Minister Harold Wilson - I now know there wasn't, though there was a file kept on him - and that the head of MI5 for nine years, Sir Roger Hollis, was actually a Soviet agent.

"It's a burlesque of the heterosexual male as done by a gay performer, which is a big element of what makes his performance so compelling," says Carter Bays...
