Summary

This week Dan Gale is getting sketchier than usual. He talks to blogger, artist and collector Peter Lorenz, creator of Illustrated007.blogspot.com

Peter became fascinated by James Bond after watching “The Spy Who Loved Me” in 1977 at the age of 10. Over the years he's compiled a nice collection, mostly items with interesting artwork and books.

0:00.0	Hi, this is Roger Moore and you're listening to James Bond Radio.
0:06.4	Hello, I'm Dan Gale from Station S, which usually stands for Somerset, but this time around stands for sniffing.
0:16.5	I have a cold, a bad one, and I hope you don't get it whilst listening to this.
0:22.0	If you do, we know the drill.
0:24.7	Send your complaints and a small pot of your Qatar to the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom,
0:29.8	Department of Mewcus, 10 Downing Street, London, England, SW1A, 2AA, United Kingdom, Europe.
0:36.6	You could add Planet Earth to that address if you really
0:39.9	wanted to be very, very specific, but you'd only need to do that if posting from the International
0:44.3	Space Station, or something in orbit constructed by some evil billionaire. And that might be crossing
0:50.7	a line. I'm sure the last thing the Prime Minister needs right now is a sample of your infected space snot sent to him, although can you imagine him in his
1:00.2	butler cowering in a corner wearing Union Jackass masks just because I told you to send him
1:05.4	a bogey in a test tube? Yeah, so can I. I say do it.
1:12.3	This episode of James Bond Radio features a conversation I had with the blogger, writer, collector, artist and James Bond superfan Peter Lorenz.
1:23.9	Since 2008, Peter has run the invaluable online resource Illustrated 007, which has attempted to catalogue not just items in Peter's own Bond collection, but every example of Bond artwork ever produced.
1:39.8	Be that a film poster, a book cover, a toy box, computer game art, comics, sweets, soft furnishings,
1:47.5	perfume, concept artwork, storyboards, anything with Bond-related artwork on it. Excuse me a second.
2:10.1	Peter took some time out to chat with me earlier this week about his love of Bond, Bond artwork, and why we collectors do this to ourselves.
2:14.2	I'll be back at the end of the interview with a little surprise for you.
2:16.9	Until then, have some of this. Have it.
2:22.8	My name's Bond. James Bond. Bob.
2:27.9	James.
2:28.9	What do you think you're doing?
