Hi, this is Roger Moore and you're listening to James Bond Radio.

Hello and welcome to James Bond Radio. Today we are joined by an Oscar-winning legend,

special effects man John Richardson. And I'm also joined by another legend who hasn't wanted to ask yet, but I would say that time may still be to come. It is, of course, Mr Dan Gale. Say hello, Dan. Hello, Diane. Hello, hello, Tom.

Now, are you excited to talk to John today? Well, I am because he's obviously, he's a key figure in what I would consider to be my part of the Bond series, the middle period.

That's the bit where I was most into it.

That's the bit that I keep going back to.

And his thumbprints are all over those films,

all throughout the 1980s.

Absolutely. Now, I'm just going to reel off this dude's back catalogue,

or some of this dude's back catalogue.

So in terms of Bond, we've got Casino Royale 67.

We've got Moonraker, we've got Oxipussy,

if you to kill, the living daylights, you're going to be happy with that.

We've got licence to kill, we've got tomorrow never dies, the world is not enough and die another day.

That's Bond, okay?

Non-Bond films, there are many, many, many absolute classics, but just kind of glossing over.

You've got Lawrence of Arabia. You've got the dirty dozen, the Battle of Britain, the Omen, a bridge too far,

Superman, Flash Gordon, aliens, and all the Harry Potter films.

Now, those are just some of the ones of note.

There are about a million more of note, including Roger Moore, Escape to Athena and North Sea

Hijack, two absolute classics.

Love both of those films.
