On this episode of The James Bond A-Z Podcast hosts Tom Butler and Brendan Duffy explore the characters and creatives behind the 007 films that fall under the letter R.

Topics covered include:

R, the Quartermaster played by John Cleese in The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day.

Dubbing legend Robert Rietty whose Bond credits are numerous.

Honey Ryder, the first ever Bond girl played by Ursula Andress in Dr. No.

Tatiana Romanova, the From Russia With Love character, played by Italian actor Daniela Bianchi.

Charles Russhon, a behind-the-scenes military veteran who was the Bond film's Mr Fix It in the early years.

We also take a look at the work of John Richardson, Simon Raven, Claude Renoir, Michael Reed, Shane Rimmer and George Roubicek.
