Hollis as 5th man
KGB very keen to cast suspicion as it disempowers the service. See James Jesus Angleton (CIA) who wanted "to start again" on the CIA at a time MI5 was hiding the Cambridge spies who, they thought would cause a rupture with the pure unsullied er CIA.
The clue that gives it all away is the Lady at the party who exclaims, "for Gods sake why is Philby still here? He has been a communist spy since the 30s!" - and the MI5 man says "Oh, has he?" - this is treated slightly in this version
Cairncross certainly was a spy, but of course were there more ? ( see J J Angleton above)
