244: Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Part 2

At the Flicks

Welcome to the second of our shows which discuss the James Bond films of the 1960’s – a time when the ever-innocent Neil thought Pussy Galore was a gang of cats As a reminder back in 2020 we had a number of episodes with our American friend Elijah discussing these very Bond films. Elijah had never seen a Bond film before we started that series and it was interesting to get his perspective of a series of films that are over 50 years old. Judging from the correspondence we received, those shows were a hit with you, our listeners. To conclude that series we were going to bring in a James Bond aficionado to give us his view on those auspicious beginnings for James Bond. A big thank you to Jon Yates for his time and knowledge in the episodes which follow. In this second episode, we talk John Barry, Ken Adam and George Lazenby. We also give Jon a challenge to design his personal choice of a 60’s Sean Connery Bond film that never was. Like the films we hope our sometimes-irreverent talk amuses and entertains you. A brief word about Mr Jon Yates. Not only is he a James Bond superfan, he is also a novelist. His first novel Subliminal Roots, a murder mystery, poses the fascinating question “How can one man kill two other men in the same way in different places at the same time?” Check it out, a link for the novel is below. Also below is a link to Q The Music who provided the music you hear throughout the podcast. Q The Music are on tour again this year and well worth going to see. Thank you Jon and Warren. And to everyone else, see you on the next show or At The Flicks
