Description

On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast host Tom Butler is joined by Alan Porter (James Bond Lexicon) and Mike Reyes (Cinemablend) to do a deep dive into the story behind 1969's On Her Majesty's Secret Service, starring George Lazenby as Ian Fleming's James Bond 007.
The episode covers the story of George Lazenby's one and only 007 film, from the (second) exit of Sean Connery from the role of Bond and the casting net that eventually snared the Australian model-turned-actor, to the production that spanned Portugal and the Alps, right up to Lazenby's decision to quit the role after just one movie.
We also look at the film's legacy from its box office and critical response, to its current standings with with 007 fans around the world.

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.
