BBC Radio Scotland - The Fountainbridge Spy

1960s London, a Scottish actor is tested for a life changing role in a spy movie.

David Ashton imagines how a young Sean Connery might have been tried and tested to show he would be the perfect choice for the role of James Bond.

In the early 1960s a young Scottish actor was in the frame for the lead in a new spy film. Not everyone thought he would be the right choice. Others believed that with a little help he would more than fit the bill. The writer David Ashton imagines how a young Sean Connery might have been tried and tested to show he was the perfect man for the job.
