The first of a 2 part 1983 double header.

Released in the summer of 1983, Octopussy was the story of jewel smuggling and bomb planting. Bob Simmons on action arranger duty and Paul Weston as his supervisor after Martin Grace has a terrible accident whilst filming the train sequence on The Nene Valley Railway in Peterborough.

Guests in this weeks episode include Stuntman Andy Bradford who talks about being 009, Paul Weston about taking over from Martin and that amazing train sequence, Rocky Taylor about doubling Roger in India and none other than the gorgeous Kristina Wayborn who plays Magda about wanting to do her own action in a saree.

Thanks also to the lovely people at JBR James Bond Radio for letting me use some of their interview with Paul Weston for this podcast.

Enjoy

My first Bond at the cinema and what a way to start my love for the good Commander.

Roger Moore at his very best, Bob Simmons in charge of the physical stunts and driving stunts handed over to the late great Remy Julienne. Willy Bognor is back and its a rollercoaster ride of a thriller.

My guest this week is stuntman Andy Bradford who appeared a few times in the film. He lives to fight another day of course and returns next week as 009 in Berlin.

Enjoy.

James Bond hits another high in Jubilee year with The Spy Who Loved Me. A magnificent example of Bond at his very best.

007 stage built for the very first time to contain the interior of The Liparus tanker, Roger Moore's favourite Bond and the first 007 outing for many stunt professionals we now hold dear in the business. 

Join me as I look at some of the set pieces in the film with the aid of stuntmen Rocky Taylor and Paul Weston.

Massive thanks to James Bond Radio (JBR) for allowing me to use content from their Paul Weston interview for this podcast. You can find out everything in the world ever about Bond by visiting @JamesBondRadio on Twitter James Bond Podcast on Instagram or go to their website www.jamesbondradio.com

James Bond is back and Roger Moore gets a trip to the Far East, sadly for Harry Saltzman there isn't an elephant in sight....apart from the cute little wooden ones.

Bob Simmons isn't here - I'll tell you why, so Les Crawford is the stunt coordinator and WJ Milligan Jr is in charge of the car stunts.

Goodnight, Goodnight sleep well my dear
No need to fear
James Bond is here...again next wee in The Spy Who Loved Me

In many peoples eyes the very Bond film ever. George Lazenby in the title role and no Bob Simmons. George Leech steps into the Stunt Arrangers chair and everything goes beautifully...well almost everything.

Join me as I explore a few action aspects of the film with the assistance of Vic Armstrong and Terry Mountain

Two films in 1967 and this is the second of the two releases.

Another exciting time for stunt coordinator Bob Simmons where his job continues to get bigger and bigger as the movies go on.

We look at some of the action in the film and get first hand opinions from two stuntmen who worked on the movie back in 67. Rocky Taylor and Vic Armstrong. So, hold tight and if you smell gas jump overboard okay?
