BBC Radio 4 Extra - James Bond, From Russia with Love

The Russians want Bond dead. Will his romance with a beautiful spy cloud Bond's judgement?

The Russians want 007 dead. Will romancing a beautiful spy cloud Bond's judgement? Starring Toby Stephens and John Sessions.

It's 1955 and the Russians plan an act of terrorism. Choice of target? James Bond. To be 'killed with ignominy': a major sex scandal will leave his reputation, and that of MI6, in tatters. 

Colonel Rosa Klebb of the KGB devises a plan to lure Bond into their trap, using beautiful Corporal Tatiana Romanova as bait - plus a Spektor, the latest Russian decoding device... 

Toby Stephens stars as agent 007.

In Archie Scottney's brilliantly evocative 'radio screenplay', we see another side to 007. Unsure of his judgement, can he bring the lovely Tatiana safely to England, along with the precious Spektor? Will the Russians succeed in having Bond killed? 

Martin Jarvis directs an all-star cast.
