The Night Manager Episode Six Promotional Pictures

The BBC have today released new promotional pictures for the sixth and final episode of their new adaptation of John le Carré’s 1993 thriller, The Night Manager, set to be broadcast on BBC One starring Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie.

A contemporary interpretation of le Carré’s 1993 novel – and the first television adaptation of a le Carré novel in more than 20 years – The Night Manager mini-series will bring together love, loss and revenge in a complex story of modern criminality. The eagerly anticipated series follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine (Hiddleston) who is recruited by an intelligence operative named Burr (Coleman) to navigate the shadowy recesses of Whitehall and Washington where an unholy alliance operates between the intelligence community and the secret arms trade. To infiltrate the inner circle of lethal arms dealer Richard Onslow Roper (Laurie), which includes girlfriend Jed (Debicki) and an associate named Corcoran (Hollander), Pine must himself become a criminal.

The Night Manager is one of le Carré’s most beloved and critically acclaimed books. A fusion of spy story and tale of organised crime, the novel was a bestseller in the United States and the UK, translated into over 20 languages and has sold over a million copies in North America alone

The final episode will be broadcast on Sunday the 27th of March from 9:00pm to 10:00pm. More promotional pictures and the sixth episode’s synopsis below:

The climactic series finale sees Pine return to where it all began: the Nefertiti Hotel in Cairo. Accompanying Roper to lead the final business transfer with Barghati, Pine fears his cover may be blown when he comes face to face with hotel owner, Freddie Hamid.

Back in London, Burr is faced with the fallout from her foiled operation to intercept Roper’s vehicles, that were transporting weapons. As she is given her marching orders by superiors in government, the team fears that Pine has been turned by Roper.

In Cairo, Pine asks Jed to provide him with the combination to Roper’s safe, where the arms documents are being stored. Risking everything to get him the vital information, Jed agrees. However, with Caroline under strict instructions from Roper to keep a close eye on Jed, her task isn’t straight forward.

As Roper entertains his guests and business associates at a lavish casino, Pine is concerned that Hamid may be suspicious of him, so decides to drug him and take him home. But with Roper’s watchful eye on him, Pine is feeling the pressure.

Will he able to finish the operation to bring Roper down before he is exposed?
