June 09, 2017 #122: The Living Daylights Review (Part 2)
It's time to talk about the second half of The Living Daylights. Last time we left Bond brooding over the killing of Saunders. This week we kick off with 007 landing in Tangiers on his way to a nasty meeting with General Pushkin.

We're talking Russian airbases, fights on planes, desert battles, diplomatic bags and a whole lot more on this week's JBR. Let's get deep on Daylights and see what we make of the climax to Timmy's 00-debut. IMPORTANT: We're running a JBR charity collection for UNICEF in Sir Roger's memory.

May 26, 2017 #121: A Tribute To Sir Roger Moore
Sir Roger Moore sadly passed away aged 89 on May 23rd 2017. As the ever popular, ever charming "People's Bond" we decided to suspend our regular programming and instead put together a tribute to the great man. Over the next 4+ hours we go through the messages of sympathy from the world of Bond from Sean Connery to Daniel Craig. We talk to Maddy Smith, Roger's very first Bond girl. We're joined by author of Catching Bullets: Memoirs of a Bond fan, Mark O'Connell, and we're even joined by the great man himself as we revisit our interview with Sir Roger from 2016. We also wanted to give a voice to Sir Roger's fans around the world, so we put out a request for messages from the JBR listeners. What can only be described as a "server melting" response followed with over 3 hours of voicemails all sharing stories, memories and favourite moments of Sir Roger. Being the lifelong fans of the great man that we all are, this episode serves as a love letter to Sir Roger and our way of thanking him for a lifetime of smiles. Sir Roger, we salute you.

May 12, 2017 #120: The Living Daylights Review (Part 1)
It's time to say goodbye to Sir Roger and enter the age of Timothy Dalton. The year is 1987. We have a brand new Bond, a Fleming based story and quite possibly the best pre-title sequence in the entire series.

This week on James Bond Radio, we're going deep on The Living Daylights. We talk about everything from Timmy's performance in the gun barrel to Kara's skills on the cello. Daylights is a firm fan favourite but does it hold up 30 years on? Find out on this week's edition of JBR.

April 28, 2017 The Music of Bond #007: Goldfinger Soundtrack Review
The Music of Bond is back with our Goldfinger soundtrack review. This week we talk about the history of the score, discuss favourite tunes and go through it track by track. Is it John Barry's all-time masterpiece? Does it live up to the hype? Is it the kind of score you can make scrambled eggs to? Find out on this week's Music of Bond. As previously mentioned, due to the tremendous workload involved in running Q The Music (the world's greatest James Bond concert experience), we've had to say goodbye to our previous Music of Bond co-host, Warren Ringham. The band are out on tour throughout the UK this year, so be sure to grab your tickets before they sell out.
