Summary

No JBR this week! Sadly, Chris still hasn't returned from his mission abroad. The last we heard he was climbing into an iceberg submarine with a buxom beauty somewhere off the coast of eastern Europe.

Instead, James Bond Radio makes the trip to Hong Kong to check out 2 locations from The Man With The Golden Gun: The Peninsula Hotel and what's left of The Bottoms Up Club.

We will release the next podcast as soon as Chris returns. ETA: Next week as usual.

So I found myself in Hong Kong, which is a very, very good city.

0:07.0

And as I was just strolling around, I noticed a green rolls drive past, so I thought,

well I'm going to have to tail that obviously. See where it goes.

There's a very mysterious lady inside.

and then you get just behind here the big kind of dragon statue thing. Let's have a closer look.

1:03.0

So this is what it looks like inside. So unfortunately, Glam boiled.

1:30.3

We go into the lift with one of the guests who were staying here and thought we'd just, you know,

1:47.0

But I'll give you a little tour of the inside. There's the reception area.

1:50.0

That's where Bond would have checked in. Not that you see that in the film, but interesting nonetheless.

1:55.0

And then I'll give you a couple of panoramas of the room because it's a lovely, lovely reception area.

2:07.6

So I tried to find a dude that lets bond into Ms. Anders's room, but weirdly they're not that
