BBC Radio 4 has announced a new 10-part audio drama titled 'Central Intelligence', featuring Kim Cattrall, Ed Harris, and Johnny Flynn. The series tells the insider story of the CIA through the perspective of Eloise Page, played by Cattrall, who joined the agency on its first day in 1947 and became one of its most influential women. Eloise narrates her experiences and relationships with early CIA leaders, including Allen Dulles and Richard Helms, offering listeners a glimpse into the heated debates that shaped world history. Cattrall described the project as a 'very well-written, factual and entertaining history' of the CIA, filled with 'false starts, gaffs, blunders, and thankfully triumphs'.
