Gary Oldman and Dame Kristin Scott Thomas star in upcoming Apple TV Plus spy drama Slow Horses<\/a> \u2013 and RadioTimes.com<\/a> can exclusively reveal a brand new featurette with both actors discussing the series.<\/p>\n

The series follows a team of British intelligence agents working in a \u2018dumping ground\u2019 department of MI5 \u2013 Slough House \u2013 with each arriving after jeopardising their careers.<\/p>\n

In a sit-down conversation, Oldman describes the series as the anti-Bond, with Slow Horses showing the grittier \u201cother side of James Bond\u201d.<\/p>

\u201cSlow Horses is not casinos, champagne and Aston Martins. It\u2019s such the other side of James Bond, isn\u2019t it?\u201d he says in the featurette.<\/p>\n

Scott Thomas responds: \u201cTotally. Behind the mirror [of] James Bond. It\u2019s the sort of stuff you\u2019d rather not look at.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really has [its] tongue in its cheek, wouldn\u2019t you say?\u201d Oldman adds.<\/p>
