Hello and welcome to James Bond Radio. This is podcast number 45. With me, I've got my good mate and Bond a fictional, Mr Tom Sears. Say gooday, Tom.

Hello, mate. How's it going? It's not going too bad, my friend. Not too bad at all. So we've got a special podcast for today, haven't we, that we put a little hint out during the week.

We certainly have. We're looking at the Allies of Bond. This is going to be a two-parter.

So we like to do that thing every now and then where we look at the sort of the unsung people that don't tend to get all the attention, like, you know, all the kind of people who hog the spotlight do.

So, yeah, we're looking at all those kind of secondary characters that kind of help bond out along the way and all that kind of stuff.

And there's some very lovable characters amongst those as well, wouldn't you say?

There are some great characters.

Like, literally some of them, I think you can't, you know,

some of them have got such good chemistry with Bond.

When you see Bond and a strong ally,

who's a strong character,

but is working well with Bond on screen.

I think they're some of my fondest moments in an actual Bond series.

It's when he's got his pal, they're both

like just working together, things are going well, and yeah, I mean, there are some great ones.

So like we said, we'll do a two part of us. So this one will be Dr. No through to your eyes only,

and then we'll do part two next time, Octopus, obviously through to Skyfall and perhaps to Spector as well.

Oh, you never know. Absolutely. So before we crack on, make sure you come and like us on Facebook.

Just put James Bond Radio into the search. You can come follow us on Twitter, which is at James Bond Radio.

And also you can visit Jamesbonradio.comcom where you can get involved with the comment system,

which we've got going on.

You've made me lose my thread, Chris.
