Introduced by Joe Darlington (Being James Bond), I investigate the uniquely British aspects of this 007 film, with 6 special interviews from China thanks to my previous guest Max James Joy (A Brit Abroad... in China - Celebrating a 'British Day' in Guangzhou).
We talk about:
- What makes this film so special?
- British submarines
- British-Greek Relations
- The King's Medal
- Ancient Chinese Sayings
- Elektra
- Saint Cyril
- The Most Famous British Greek
- British Winter Olympics
I draw on a range of books, including but not limited to:
- Bond on Bond, by Roger Moore
- Some Kind of Hero, by Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury
- For My Eyes Only, by John Glen
- The Return of Heroic Failures, by Stephen Pile
- The Complete James Bond Short Stories, by Ian Fleming
- Operation Mincemeat, by Ben Macintyre
- Ian Fleming's Commandos, by Nicholas Rankin
- Ian Fleming, by Nicholas Shakespeare
- A Bond Odyssey, by Adam Muckle
- 30 Hot Days, M.A. Birant
For Greece during the Second World War, I do draw on Winston Churchill's 6 volume account, and recommend the following novel and TV drama:
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières
- Sword of Honour (2001) starring Daniel Craig
