On Her Majestys Secret Service BBC radio 4

James Bond returns in this radio broadcast premiere of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, a dramatisation of Ian Fleming's classic 1963 novel with Bond alumnis Toby Stephens (Gustav Graves in Die Another Day 2002) and Joanna Lumley (the English girl in the film version of OHMSS) in the main roles. This marks the 4th time Toby Stephens portrays Bond on radio.

Date: May 3, 2014
Time: 2.30pm
Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes

James Bond seems more interested in gambling at the Casino Royale than tracking down elusive SPECTRE chief Blofeld. Then he meets Tracy, emotionally disturbed daughter of mafia boss Draco. Now he has a double motive: seek and destroy Blofeld, and prevent Tracy killing herself.

Impersonating a College of Arms official Bond infiltrates Blofeld's Swiss mountain-top lair. He learns that Blofeld and aide Irma Bunt are brainwashing young women. Why? Is biological warfare involved? Backed by 'M' and Draco, Bond mounts an air assault. But can he pin down monstrous Blofeld? And what will happen to Tracy?
