Central Intelligence: Series 3: Episode 6

Richard Helms has finally reached the top of the CIA. Now he has to prove the Agency deserves to be heard. In Vietnam, the Pentagon insists America is winning. The CIA’s own intelligence tells a darker story: the enemy is larger, stronger and more resilient than Washington wants to believe. LBJ demands evidence, and Helms must stand behind an estimate that challenges everything the military is telling him. But Vietnam is not the only crisis. In the Middle East, tensions between Israel, Syria, Egypt and Jordan are moving towards a confrontation that could pull in the superpowers. As Helms begins his tenure as CIA Director, he faces the hardest task in Washington: telling a President the truth before events outrun him.Starring Kim Cattrall, Kelsey Grammer and Johnny Flynn.Eloise Page..........Kim Cattrall Lyndon Baines Johnson..........Kelsey Grammer Richard Helms..........Johnny Flynn Young Eloise Page..........Elena Delia Bob McNamara..........Rob Benedict Desmond Fitzgerald..........Donald Sage Mackay John McCone..........Tim Ahern Helen Boatner..........Carlyss Peer Dean Rusk..........Joseph Balderrama Tom Karamessines..........Akie Kotabe Gerri Whittington..........Nettie Chickering Elizabeth, Richard Helm's Secretary..........Laurel Lefkow Sailor..........Clay ZackeryAll other parts played by the castOriginal music by Sacha PuttnamProduction: Written by Greg Haddrick, who created the series with Jeremy Fox Sound Design and Editing by Adam Woodhams, Andreina Gomez Casanova and John Scott Dryden Assistant Director: Flynn Hallman Sonica Studio Sound Engineers: Mat Clark & Paul Clark Sonica Runner: Lily LefkowDirector: John Scott Dryden Producer & Casting Director: Emma Hearn Executive Producers: Howard Stringer, Jeremy Fox, Greg Haddrick and John Scott Dryden.A Goldhawk production for BBC Radio 4
