"What are you? Some kinda doomsday machine boy? Well WE got a cage strong enough to hold an animal like you here!" - Sheriff J.W. Pepper

Sir Roger Moore takes over the leading role as Ian Fleming's 007 in Live And Let Die (1973). Following in the quite considerable footsteps of Sir Sean Connery, the Bond series was at a crossroads in its history, could the character survive without its original star? Sir Roger was well known in Great Britain, and was one of the biggest stars on TV. His success in The Saint and The Persuaders had prepared him to take on this much-coveted role. 

This Blaxploitation picture takes Bond from Harlem to the fictional island of San Monique, where he encounters the opium poppy trade of Dr Kananga. Along the way he meets the stunning Solitaire played by the beautiful Jane Seymour and Bond must overcome Vodoo magic, along with the various faces of Dr Kananga. 

The pressure was well and truly on, the Bond producers were ambitious with their story, tackling a very different movie to the stories which had come before. The producers took great care to differentiate Sir Roger from his much-adored predecessor arnd ultimately given Sir Roger's long tenure in the role, this movie proved a critical and commercial success, proving Bond could survive post-Connery, Where does this movie rank in the series and how do we rate the debut of Sir Roger? Listen on to discover more!  

"A duel between titans. My golden gun against your Walther PPK." - Francisco Scaramanga

The last 007 adventure to be filmed in the immediate aftermath of the previous Bond film Live And Let Die (1973), Producers were eager to capitalise on the success of Sir Roger in his debut 007 movie. 

Set on the other side of the world, Bond's number is finally up as a golden bullet inscribed with his number is sent to MI6, it is verified as being sent by the Million Dollar assassin Francisco Scaramanga! M immediately takes Bond of his current assignment but offers him the chance to hunt down the feared hitman before he gets a chance to eliminate 007. The story sees Bond meet familiar allies, and concludes with a duel between titans, the world's greatest spy, against the world's most feared assassin.

"You Just killed James Bond!" - Tiffany Case 

In this episode of the @007EverythingorNothing podcast, we revisit the seventh entry in the James Bond Series.  The return of Sir Sean Connery to the role of 007 was greatly anticipated as the Scotsman accepted a world record fee for an actor to don the tux once again. Sir Sean would give much of his paycheque to charity...

Largely ignoring the previous instalment, Bond producers looked to re-create the essence of Goldfinger (1964) with Guy Hamilton returning to the director's chair with a larger than life story.  This mission sees 007 travel to Las Vegas on a diamond smuggling assignment. As the movie gathers pace he once more comes face to face with arch-nemesis Ernst Starvo Blofeld, and uncovers a plot to hold the world to ransom. 

One of the more divisive entries in the Bond collection, this film is often pinpointed as one of the worst entries, with many criticising the bloated appearance of Connery (now 41) and the camp nature of the movie. In this podcast we will present our view of Diamonds Are Forever and why it should be taken on face value as a great piece of cinematic escapism.  Is this movie as bad as some would have you believe? Or is there plenty to love as we bid farewell to Sir Sean Connery.
