• James Bond The Spy Who Loved Me

  Christopher Wood's novelisation of his screenplay of The Spy Who Loved Me (co-written with Richard Maibaum) is unlike most novelisations a reimagining of the story. Wood's James Bond is closer to Ian Fleming and the tone of the book is much darker than the film with many differences from the finished movie. Chris Eels who you can follow on Instagram joins me to talk all things Bond. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  Journalist and film programmer, Laurence Boyce joins me to discuss Trigger Mortis, Anthony Horowitz's James Bond continuation novel, a sequel to Goldfinger. Incorporating original, never-before-published material from 007 creator Ian Fleming, New York Times bestselling author Anthony Horowitz returns literary legend James Bond to his 1950s heyday in this exhilarating and dashing thriller. The world's most famous spy, James Bond, has just returned victorious from his showdown with Auric Goldfinger in Fort Knox. By his side is the glamorous and streetwise Pussy Galore, who played no small part in his success. As they settle down in London, the odds of Galore taming the debonair bachelor seem slim—but she herself is a creature not so easily caught. Learn more about your ad choices.

  Season Two kicks off with the continuation novels. Kingsley Amis - under the pen name Robert Markham - started the post-Fleming Bonds with a brilliantly written adventure which takes Bond into the heart of a shifting world of Cold War politics. A book which would have an impact on several Bond movies and prove that there was an audience out there for more of their favourite secret agent 007. Alasdair Satchel joins me to discuss.
