WHERE I CAME FROM' SAYS SIR MICHAEL CAINE WHO IS IN THE CAST OF THE IPCRESS FILE ON ITV? The Ipcress File on ITV features a star-studded cast of talent. Peaky Blinders and Gangs of

spy. And the case on which he cuts his teeth will be The Ipcress File. "Harry’s links to the man suspected of kidnapping a missing British nuclear scientist result in him being

conscripted for a dangerous undercover mission that takes him from the Beatles’ London to the Berlin Wall, from the back alleys of Beirut to the white-hot sand of a Nuclear Atoll in the

Pacific. "A twist-laden spy thriller with a rich cast of characters, The Ipcress File is a stylish and tense tale of abducted scientists, brainwashing, inter-departmental rivalry,

treason, and a possibly unwise romance." IS THERE A TRAILER FOR THE IPCRESS FILE ON ITV? A short trailer for the series was released in January 2021 and it explains how an operation to

track down a missing person in Berlin is underway.  Joe Cole's character is heard saying: "If only life was that simple." Director and Executive Producer James Watkins, who is

directing each of the six episodes, commented: “We can’t wait to bring Len Deighton’s intoxicating web of spies - sexier than Smiley’s people, more real than Bond - to a wider television

audience. With his sly wit and understated integrity clashing against the establishment, working-class spy Harry Palmer is more relevant than ever.”  THE IPCRESS FILE, SUNDAY MARCH 6 AT 9PM
