You Only Live Twice

Season 1 · Episode 12

Friday, October 25, 2024 • Duration 01:51:34

Film critic for the Irish Times, Donald Clarke, talks Ian Fleming's eleventh James Bond 007 novel You Only Live Twice which begins eight months after the murder of Tracy Bond, James Bond's wife. Bond is drinking, gambling heavily and making mistakes on his assignments when, as a last resort, he is sent to Japan on a semi-diplomatic mission. While there he is challenged by the head of the Japanese Secret Service to kill Dr. Guntram Shatterhand. Bond realises that Shatterhand is Ernst Stavro Blofeld—the man responsible for Tracy's death—and sets out on a revenge mission to kill him and his wife, Irma Bunt. The novel is the concluding chapter of the "Blofeld Trilogy", which had begun in 1961 with Thunderball. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Season 1 · Episode 11

Friday, October 18, 2024 • Duration 01:32:58

Ian Killick, filmmaker, joins me to talk James Bond 007 and the 10th novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is the tenth novel and eleventh book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series. It was first published in the United Kingdom by Jonathan Cape on 1 April 1963. Fleming changed the formula and structure from the previous novel, The Spy Who Loved Me, and made a determined effort to produce a work that adhered to his tried and tested format. The initial and secondary print runs sold out quickly, with over 60,000 copies sold in the first month, double that of the previous book's first month of sales. Fleming wrote the novel at Goldeneye, his holiday home in Jamaica, while Dr. No, the first entry in the James Bond film series by Eon Productions, was being filmed nearby.

The Spy Who Loved Me

Season 1 · Episode 10

Friday, October 11, 2024 • Duration 01:06:55

Philip Gwyne Jones, author of the Nathan Sutherland series of Venetian set crime novels, joins me to discuss Ian Fleming's most bold experiment with super spy James Bond yet. The Spy Who Loved Me is the ninth novel and tenth book in Ian Fleming's James Bond series, first published by Jonathan Cape on 16 April 1962. It is the shortest and most sexually explicit of Fleming's novels, as well as the only Bond novel told in the first person. Its narrator is a young Canadian woman, Viv Michel. Bond himself does not appear until two-thirds of the way through the book, arriving at precisely the right moment to save Viv from being raped and murdered by two criminals. Fleming wrote a prologue to the novel giving the character Viv credit as a co-author. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
