Totally agree that Benedict Cumberbatch is too posh - he irritates me quite a bit these days and I'd be mortified if he became Bond.
It's fantastic that the Bond actors voices have been so diverse. My personal favourite example being the classic "things were abooot to turn nasstee" Eee oop chuck, that's grand work that is.

Big Dalton fan, but that somehow jars with me. It strikes me as a deliberate choice as Dalton does not sound like that in his everyday speech.
Of that of which we cannot speak we must pass over in silence- Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Yes, but no luck unfortunately - they seem quite rare. I've noticed that a few people on this forum seem to have copies, and was wondering if they'd be able to help me out.
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon enacting Roger Moore's dialogue with Christopher Lee from the lunch scene in TMWTGG is indeed spot-on!
I saw Coogan tonight at the theatre in 'Dr Strangelove' (The Noel Coward Theatre). Coogan plays all the characters Peter Sellers played in Stanley Kubrick's film, plus the B52 pilot. He's not as good as Sellers in it, but it's a different medium and it's impressive that he manages all the character transitions on the stage. Giles Terera almost steals the show as General Buck Turgidson. The production is pretty faithful to the film and there are some cool visual effects. Of course, the dark satire of 'Dr Strangelove' resonates ominously again today, given our current geopolitical situation.
Ken Adam's design is tributed by an angled circular construct above the War Room set.
Critics and material I don't need. I haven't changed my act in 53 years.

Hello,
Do you know where I might be able to get hold of a copy of the David Rintoul audiobooks?
Thanks.
I take it you've looked at the usual sources such as Amazon and eBay?

That's okay, but please don't post any more asking about it. 6 times is more than enough.
