Strange piece of art they’ve chosen to promote it.
The golden gun from the film??

Using Eon’s trademarked weapon is cheaper than paying for use of actual guns. They’re supposed to consult EoN anyway (a vaguely described use of “adaptations” in the original deal Fleming made means any Bond fiction dramatised needs Eon’s permission)

Nice! I like Toby. He could’ve perfectly been Bond in film, IMO.

That´s actually an interesting thought. I like his work in “Lost in space”, and he has matured very well.
To have a former Bond villain become Bond would be a most intriguing casting choice.
Won’t happen. But still…

Can’t wait! I love bond on the wireless, as the pictures are better!

I’m liking purely for describing it as the wireless - It’s how Fleming would’ve put it!

If Eon wanted to go as _pure_ Fleming as it is possible to go, Stephen’s would be perfect. The man has very much inherited his (Knighted for acting) parents’ ability.

I still call it the wireless, even if I am only 44!

The picture in the radio times is an illustration and the gun is a golden barrelled hand gun

Listening to it now, on long wave for that vintage effect with a nice glass of famous grouse
