On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler, Brendan Duffy, and Tom Wheatley and joined by special guest Stu Rolls (@SOLTS007) to take a deep dive into the making of 1981's 'For Your Eyes Only', starring Roger Moore as 007.

The episode explores:

How the film attempted to reboot expectations of the James Bond films following the excesses of 'Moonraker'.

How Roger Moore played a high-stakes game with producer Cubby Broccoli over his fifth outing as Bond.

How John Glen was promoted to director after years of working through the ranks, and what he brought to the film.

The cast and crew that was assembled for the film.

The bizarre opening and closing scenes that bookend an otherwise grounded Bond thriller.

The titles, posters, song, music, premieres, release, box office and enduring legacy of the 1981 Bond film.

Stick around to the end to find out where we rank 'For Your Eyes Only' against the other films we've covered so far.

James Bond will return... in next week's James Bond's A-Z Podcast.
