#197: The Lost Adventures of James Bond with Mark Edlitz

Author: James Bond Radio December 11, 2020 Duration: 1:26:47

This week, author, Mark Edlitz returns to the show to talk about his new book: The Lost Adventures of James Bond.

As Bond fans, we've all seen the movies and read the books, but there is a hidden world of 007 content left to discover when it comes to the 'lost' or unmade adventures.

In today's episode, Mark talks us through the ideas and outlines for Timothy Dalton's 3rd and 4th Bond films, explores the unproduced Casino Royale stage play written by Raymond Benson, exposes the secret history of the James Bond Jr. animated series, and much more.


For anyone whose idea of a perfect Friday involves a shaken martini and a deep dive into the world of espionage, James Bond Radio: 007 News, Reviews & Interviews! has been the essential weekly briefing for years. Hosts Tom Sears and Chris Wright aren't just presenters; they're genuine, lifelong fanatics whose enthusiasm is as infectious as their knowledge is deep. Their conversations form the core of this long-running podcast, moving seamlessly from dissecting the latest casting rumors and film reviews to sharing incredible stories from the franchise's inner circle. The archive is a goldmine, featuring candid conversations with legends like the late, great Sir Roger Moore, iconic villain Bruce Glover, legendary director John Glen, and production design master Peter Lamont. It's this blend of immediate news analysis and historic, firsthand insight that gives the show its unique texture. Having earned recognition from outlets like Variety and The Times, and with a five-year legacy of serving the global Bond community, James Bond Radio feels less like a produced show and more like a lively, informed chat between friends who just happen to have incredible connections to the world of 007. You'll find yourself pulled into debates about gadgetry, theme songs, and cinematic style, all while feeling like you're part of the club.
