Description

On this show, hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy and Tom Wheatley explore the work of Maurice Binder, the man responsible for James Bond's iconic gun barrel design, and countless 007 title sequences.

They talk about the life and career of Don Black, the Oscar-winning lyricist who wrote a number of James Bond theme songs including 'Thunderball' and 'Diamonds Are Forever', and one-time screenwriter Harold Jack Bloom.

Also explored is the franchise's relationship with BMW in the 1990s, skiing cameraman extraordinaire Willy Bogner Jr, and we talk about the origins of James Bond, and the man who inspired 007's name.

Hosted by lifelong James Bond fans – film journalist Tom Butler, journalist Tom Wheatley, and improviser Brendan Duffy – The James Bond A-Z Podcast is an encyclopaedic introduction to the people behind the world’s greatest spy film franchise. Going from A-Z, each episode covers the key creatives and characters from every James Bond film from 1962’s 'Dr No' to 2021’s 'No Time To Die', talking about Ken Adam to Max Zorin, and everything in-between (and yes, that includes 'Never Say Never Again'). The show shines a light on every aspect of the filmmaking process answering many of the questions you always wanted to ask about the 007 films, and we are occasionally joined by guests who offer a unique perspective on the films.
