Does anyone know where I can find a new audio drama of A View to a Kill?

A snippet of it was included in the James Bond and Friends podcast episode 'Watchalong with A View to a Kill'.

It sounds great and I'd love to hear the whole thing!


The snippet can be heard at the beginning of the pod - link here:

    Sounds like it's probably from one of those old 'turn the page now' storybooks with audiotapes they used to do in the 80s. I didn't even know they did one for AVTAK!


    I used to have an Airwolf one 😊

    That's exactly what it is! Thank you for your help :)

    No problem @DavidJones 😊


    Looks like they got Michael Shannon as Bond from the cover image 😁

    From another podcast that featured Mark Edlitz I learned that they did one of those for Moonraker as well. Mark played an excerpt from it on the podcast. I remember having a few of those types of tapes as a child with a read along book but unfortunately I never had a Bond one!

    It sounds like they really skipped the best bits though!

    I would have been fun if they'd done a full-on Fleming adaptation though. "Bond's testicles were being beaten to a pulp: turn the cassette over now" :D

    They should've had Bowie voice Zorin on that cassette , that would've been interesting (but his fee would be astronomic though)

    Is that YouTube video just an edited-down clip of the audio or is it the full thing? I can't quite tell.

    Pretty sure it's the whole thing. They weren't long books and were mainly pictures!
