Description

On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley tackle more filmmakers, characters and topics from the letter D.

In this show you'll learn about:

Bibi Dahl, the figure-skating Bond girl played by Lynn-Holly Johnson who challenged the paternal instincts of Roger Moore's autumnal 007 in 1981's 'For Your Eyes Only'.

Roald Dahl, Ian Fleming's WW2 contemporary who went from ace fighter pilot to children's author to screenwriter on 1967's 'You Only Live Twice' despite having concerns over the strength of the source material.

Danjaq, the holding company created by Cubby Broccoli and Harry Saltzman in 1962 to handle the business affairs of the James Bond movie franchise.

Dario, the unhinged henchman portrayed by Benicio Del Toro in an early film role, who memorably gave Felix Leiter's wife "a nice honeymoon" in 'Licence To Kill'.

Peter Davies, a British filmmaker who worked in the editing department of a number of 1980s James Bond films including 'Octopussy', 'A View to a Kill' and 'The Living Daylights'.

Anthony Dawson, the Scottish actor who appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Dial M For Murder' and played Professor Dent in 'Dr No' before returning to play Blofeld as an uncredited actor in both 'From Russia with Love' and 'Thunderball'.

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.
