Introduced by Joe Darlington (Being James Bond), I investigate the uniquely British aspects of this 007 film, with 6 special interviews from China thanks to my previous guest Max James Joy (A Brit Abroad... in China - Celebrating a 'British Day' in Guangzhou).
We talk about:

  • What makes this film so special?
  • British submarines
  • British-Greek Relations
  • The King's Medal
  • Ancient Chinese Sayings
  • Elektra
  • Saint Cyril
  • The Most Famous British Greek
  • British Winter Olympics

I draw on a range of books, including but not limited to:

  • Bond on Bond, by Roger Moore
  • Some Kind of Hero, by Matthew Field and Ajay Chowdhury
  • For My Eyes Only, by John Glen
  • The Return of Heroic Failures, by Stephen Pile
  • The Complete James Bond Short Stories, by Ian Fleming
  • Operation Mincemeat, by Ben Macintyre
  • Ian Fleming's Commandos, by Nicholas Rankin
  • Ian Fleming, by Nicholas Shakespeare
  • A Bond Odyssey, by Adam Muckle
  • 30 Hot Days, M.A. Birant

For Greece during the Second World War, I do draw on Winston Churchill's 6 volume account, and recommend the following novel and TV drama:

  • Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernières
  • Sword of Honour (2001) starring Daniel Craig
