In an upcoming episode of “Slow Horses,” an MI5 agent working under Jackson Lamb, Jack Lowden’s River Cartwright, brings information to his boss, who is eating lunch alone at an Asian restaurant.
As Lamb — played by veteran actor Gary Oldman in the British spy drama series, available in the US via Apple TV+ — listens and offers some thoughts, some of the noodles destined for his stomach fall out of his mouth and back into the bowl.
