‘Slow Horses’ Star Gary Oldman Recruited by Real Spy Agency MI5 — to Narrate Christmas Poem
'Slow Horses' star Gary Oldman has narrated a Christmas poem for real U.K. spy agency MI5's social media account.
In collaboration with the streaming platform, the British counter-intelligence agency have published a festive video on their Instagram page featuring Oscar-winner Oldman narrating a contemporary twist on the poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.” Titled “A Christmas Story from MI5,” the video shows various agents at their computers at the spy agency’s London headquarters Thames House (not Regent’s Park, as depicted in the TV series) while Oldman narrates in the voice of his “Slow Horses” character Jackson Lamb. The show, which is based on Mick Herron’s novels of the same name, is centered around a dishevelled Lamb leading a ragtag band of failed spies nicknamed the Slow Horses who’ve been banished from MI5 headquarters.
