It's got many many things inside it, but not everything,
like the time we caught up with Daniel Craig.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
We caught up with him when he'd finished the first
James Bond film, but the world hadn't seen it. He
was in that vulnerable moment of how will they see me?
How will they view me? And he was so charming,
so damn handsome, those blue eyes.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Cripes, Okay, why don't you marry him? Sure as we
live and breathe, Daniel Craig, Hello, Hello, How.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
You doing very well?

Speaker 1 (00:57):
We spoke to you when your first Bond film was
about to be released. I think we can finally say
you're doing okay, that's all right? Really few to hear
me say that, yeah, really.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Thank you?

Speaker 1 (01:09):
We we know I was going to put in a letter.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Well. Roger more recently said that you are the best
Bond in his eyes, and said watching you is you
look like you're going to kill someone. Whereas when you
see me, it just looks like I'm going to cheat
in backgammon.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
He was this incredibly charming playing James Bond. I mean,
I think, you know, he just he just had it.
He had his he had a way of doing it
which is very different from mine, that's all. But he
was pretty good. I do owe him about twenty boxes
of champagne, I.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Think for all the nice things he said about you.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
All nice he said about me recently.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
But I grew up in the era where he was Bond,
and he was very glib. You're a very meaty, tortured Bond,
and I like that.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
A lot more.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
A meaty Bond.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Yes, it does like dog food actually does a meat
he tortured Bond.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
But that was a.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Deliberate choice, wasn't it, to go back to play six.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, it was in a sense that when I was
given the chance to do Casino, which was you know,
I mean, such a kind of privilege to do, is
that we had the chance to wipe the slate clean.
And I just always need that. When I did it,
That's what's the point of me coming along and doing
Roger or doing Sure or doing Peers. I've got to
do what I know how to do, but I always

(02:22):
had an eye on the idea that I always wanted
the Bond to be in there. And that's kind of
getting to the third movie. Now, how can we get
those ideas into the movie without making them feel crass
and kind of you know, like we're just you know
that we've just sort of done themselves consciously and trying
to kind of make them original. And that was a
lot of a lot of kind of work to do

(02:43):
and was a lot of fun because you know, it
meant that we could sort of put humor in there,
and we could put this sort of stuff in them
while remaining meaty obviously keeping met.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
And they are always great deaths in Bond films, and
this I think is the first death by Komodo Dragon.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Do you think it could be?

Speaker 4 (03:00):
But don't give that away.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Haven't seen it?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Did you know that apparently there's a new viagra with
the new Bond film. They thought it would be a
good match because it helps you Roger Moore, Oh shut up,
I'll stop you.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Daniel, thank you, thank you, and.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Then security throw us Oaturday.

Speaker 3 (03:24):
In the street.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
The way you've edited that, you've made me sound crazy.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, that's a fair account.
