Summary

JBR returns with something completely different this week. This time we're taking a chapter by chapter look at Christopher Wood's novelisation of The Spy Who Loved Me.

If you've never read it before you're in for some surprises. More Fleming Bond than movie Bond, the book reads like a darker, grittier version of the film we all know and love. With extra scenes, back story and plot details that don't feature on screen, you'll never look at Sir Roger's 3rd Bond film the same way again.

0:00.0	Today's episode of James Bond Radio is dedicated to the memory of Lewis Gilbert. The man who not only
0:05.2	took Bond into space, he also saved the entire series with the subject of today's podcast, The Spy Who Love Me.

0:40.6	It's still tilted, wasn't it?

0:44.9	Now, for those who didn't listen to the end of the fourth birthday anniversary episode of JBR,
0:50.7	Chris has gone on deep cover.
0:52.2	He's away on a secret mission, away from the
0:54.4	internet and social media for the next three months. So we've obviously put together some
0:59.5	other stuff going on in the meantime while he's away on deep cover, which is obviously
1:05.1	why you're on board, Mr. Dan Gale. So why don't you tell the people what we're doing today?
1:08.9	What's going on?
1:09.9	The plan was for those who don't know, right, first of all, I have to address the fact that
