    The Beeb usually release their dramatisations as Audio Books. Would be nice to see the ones done so far released as I missed them. Wasn't Toby Stephens playing 007?

    BBC Radio 4 broadcast an adaptation of Dr. No. Toby Stephens played James Bond, while Dr. No was played by David Suchet. Following the success of Dr. No, a second Bond story was adapted and on 3 April 2010, BBC Radio 4 broadcast Goldfinger with Toby Stephens again playing Bond. Sir Ian McKellen was Goldfinger and Rosamund Pike played Pussy Galore.

    Interesting. We just saw Stephens in Inspector Lewis and I remember commenting to the wife that he'd make a good Bond. He was very Bond like, but we all know 'Gustav' cannot be Bond. ;)

    Funnily enough much as I enjoy these radio plays of Bond stories, I just wish
    Stephen's voice was more baritone. Or am I getting very picky ? :))

    I loved this radio play. Thought it was incredibly well done. I especially liked how they jumped the first 5 chapters of the book and just got on with the story (not sarcasm). Gustav did a decent job, but I agree about the baritone, Thunderpussy. Overall, 8/10.

    Sam Mendes has been the subject of BBC Radio 4's Profile. The programme looks at his life and career and asks why has this director of Shakespeare and Chekhov taken on the ultimate populist movie genre of James Bond?

    On tonights "Front Row" 7:15, there is a short segement on
    Why the Vatican approves of James Bond and Skyfall.
    It will be on the Radio I-Player for the next week.

    Wasn't alot about Bond really, just that the vatican usually speaks out
    about Bond films, But suddenly the Vatican newspaper gives Skyfall a good review.

    A bbc radio 4 comedy panel show, the idea is to smuggle

    Charlie Higson in the last one up and Tries to hide some truths
    about Bond and Fleming.
    You can skip to 21:45 just to hear the Bond segment .
    It is a Funny show.
    ( Many of the truths he tries hide are well known to any Bond fan ) :007)

    I posted this in THE ROGER MOORE THREAD last November. No problem with you posting it again as I am sure it will be new to some, and it is well worth a listen. I am wondering though why you posted it here. What's Howard Stern's connection with the BBC? :D
