Build-A-Bond

Actor, writer, producer and incredibly fun human being Joanna Bool is our guest this week. Most well known for her guest appearance in Fraser and Stuart’s favourite TV show, Joanna somehow manages to pick her Bond, co-star, villain, director and theme song in between all of our terrible Lost jokes and references…

We also trial a brand-new format point to keep the podcast accurate and Joanna tells us one of the most hilarious behind the scenes anecdotes we have ever heard.

Scottish YouTuber and creator of the ‘Learn Quick’ series Mike Boyd is our special guest this week. As always there are no rules and no restrictions as Mike decides who plays Bond, who co-stars, who plays the villain, who directs the film and who performs the theme song. More familiar with the (very) small screen, Mike reveals a real passion for cinema but not necessarily for the Bond franchise…

We also talk Martinis, second chances and some of the amazing 007 skills Mike has learned through his YouTube videos.

Star of River City and Scot Squad, Jordan Young is in the Build-A-Bond hot seat this week. No stranger to playing notorious hardmen and top shaggers, Jordan is well placed to pick his dream Bond, co-star, villain, director and theme song. Jordan goes into detail and even picks out the locations where he wants his film set, although many of the places seem to closely match-up with his favourite holiday destinations…

Jordan also talks about his career on stage and screen and some of his favourite past roles.

BBC journalist and presenter Fiona Stalker gets the chance to build her dream James Bond film this week. There are plenty of surprise choices and a little bit of controversy as Fiona lays out her perfect Bond, co-star, villain, director and theme song. Fiona describes one of our most detailed plot lines yet, but admits some of her choices have caused tension on the set of Seven Days…

Fiona also helps us to see Madonna in a slightly different light and we discuss various ways of including the often-overlooked city of Aberdeen in a 007 adventure.

Award winning director John McPhail is building his dream James Bond film this week. With plenty of experience making films himself, John is the perfect guest to talk us through his picks for Bond, the co-star, the villain, who directs the film and who performs the theme song. As someone who has recently directed a Christmas-zombie-musical-drama-comedy its difficult to guess which direction John will take his film, and there are certainly plenty of surprises as he builds his Bond…

We also hear loads of behind-the-scenes stories from the making of Anna and the Apocalypse, including a brilliant 007 reference within the film that unfortunately didn’t make the final cut.

This week, A Place in the Sun and Animal Park presenter Jean Johansson builds what some have described as the ‘most woke Bond ever’. Through a series of teasing clues Jean reveals who she would like to play Bond, the co-star, the villain, who directs the film and who performs the theme song. In a total riot of an episode there are plenty of laughs but also a major moment of controversy that threatens to start a serious beef with a beloved national treasure…

We also talk hot celebrity gossip straight from the grapevine and battle with some unfortunate technological issues.
