0158: Touching Grass

Episode 162

Saturday, June 15, 2024 • Duration 45:35

What has been going on with James Bond this year?

You wait around for news for months and then... well, nothing much happens. It has been a very quiet year so far in terms of 007 big screen developments, but there has been Bond content flowing elsewhere in the literary, comics, and gaming wings of the franchise. We take a close look at the state of the box-office and ask if the movie business being in such flux may cause significant delays for EON, and also reveal some production news about a former 007 and how his next project may have knock-on consequences.

The recording took place on June 6th, 2024 in the USA and Spain.

0157: Happy Passengers

Episode 161

Sunday, May 12, 2024 • Duration 20:30

Where in the world should Bond travel next?

This epsiode we dip into the MI6 archives to play an interview with Black Tomato co-founder, Tom Marchant. Regular Bond followers might remember that mid-last year Black Tomato - a UK-based travel company - came out with a unique European Bond themed travel experience. 'The Assignment' is a twelve day mission across UK, France, and Italy, stopping in at key landmarks from the Bond films.

Just recently Black Tomato announce a second tranche of travel adventures with a Bond twist. These now include tours to Chile, Mexico, Thailand and Japan.

Tom Marchant was speaking with MI6-HQ.com and MI6 Confidential co-founder Vipul Patel.
