There's no stripping, no naked women, and there were great shows and things like that.

And I wanted to, that would only, that wouldn't even count as breaking the rules for us.

And that's pretty tame, the Playboy Club was tame.

Oh yeah, that's tame.

But this other place that I cased out, purely professional reasons, that was naughty.

That would have been over the line, yeah.

And he made that quite clear to me, and I don't think I pushed beyond that.

Kit Bennett says over time, he became close with his target.

And we both, I think we both genuinely liked each other.

It's interesting, the difference between our cultures, certainly then rather than now, where, you know, I didn't hug my father until he was an old man because we used to shake hands, how are your son, you know, and that sort of thing.

But the Russians, of course, have a totally different culture.

So with the guy I was working with,

working against we we started off you know shaking hands how do you do and then and then it went to shaking hands with both hands and then then the hugs and and all that sort of thing do you want to give him a name can you give him a name it doesn't have to be his name but i mean let's hear about him in a more personal intimate way if you can okay um

Let's call him Vladimir for the want of a name that's not his name.

And I met his wife.

I knew his wife.

We had lunch together and we met.

And I'd be in that country for a couple of weeks and I'd maybe see him.

I'd go up and down and I'd see him maybe twice.

And, of course, I had to build up covers of what I was doing, not just, you know, sheepskin coats was just a favour I was doing.
