This week, Alex and James are joined by friend of the show Simon Smith to discuss the moments that could have ended the entire Bond franchise.

Following our Make or Break episode, we take a closer look at the Breaks: the films and behind-the-scenes developments that defined (and nearly destroyed) the future of 007. From the Connery-draining Thunderball to the baffling brother revelation of Spectre, these are James Bond's lowest moments... and how he rose from them stronger than ever.
