James Bond Radio: 007 News, Reviews & Interviews!
Day 6 of 30 Days of SPECTRE!
 
It’s time to talk about another newly resurrected classic Bond character in today’s episode of James Bond Radio.
 
Moneypenny has always been a staple in the Bond series from Dr. No all the way through to Die Another Day. After her return in Skyfall, this time we get to see Naomi Harris' Moneypenny settled in to the more traditional desk bound position as made popular by Lois Maxwell. 
 
Let’s talk Moneypenny!

Day 5 of 30 Days of SPECTRE!
 
Today it’s time to talk Q. There’s no doubt Ben Whishaw has huge shoes to fill after Desmond Llewelyn’s final appearance in 1999, so does he pull it off? 
 
With key scenes inside Q’s lab and played out in the field, Q gets a lot more screen time than usual in SPECTRE. So, let’s find out if he has what it takes to carry the Q torch.

Day 4 of 30 Days of SPECTRE!
 
Ralph Fiennes, Ralph Fiennes, Ralph Fiennes! Is there any finer actor for Judi Dench to pass the M torch to than that? We wager that there is not. 
 
We had a brief glimpse at the end of Skyfall but SPECTRE is the first time we get to see the new M in all his glory. 
 
We talk through all the M scenes from SPECTRE, ponder on the Gareth Mallory character in comparison to Sir Miles, as played by Bernard Lee and speculate on just how long we might see Ralph dishing out 007’s orders.

We're honoured to have a legendary member of the James Bond family on the show this week, Bruce Glover. We talk Bond, Diamonds Are Forever, Sean Connery, Putter Smith and a whole lot more besides. Outside of the 007 world we hear equally fascinating stories all about Bruce's life growing up in depression era Chicago, the hilarious story behind his very first acting job and we discover the process Bruce would use to get into character. 

Big thanks go out to Bruce for being so generous with his time. Not only is he amazing to talk to, he's also one of the most down to earth people you could ever wish to meet. 

DO NOT MISS THIS EPISODE!
