Alan Rickman
It was cool to see a young Alan Rickman (Die Hard, Robin Hood, Quigley Down Under, Harry Potter)working behind the hotel desk and reluctantly accept the package from Smiley.
"...it doesn't 'tick', does it ?"

As I recall the conversation goes:
“Hello Sir, How’s Lady Ann?"
SMILEY; She’s very lucky, will you put this in the safe for me?
RICKMAN: I adore the bag. (looking askance) It doesn’t ‘tick’ does it?
SMILEY: Only in wet weather!
This little cameo scene shows the young, urbane, Alan Rickman playing the part of the Savoy man-behind-the-counter. The dialogue is from memory.

I enjoyed the scene the other day when I re-watched the series. Not as interesting as the first one but bits like this make up for it.

AR was as camp as a bottle of chickory-flavoured coffee.
