Double Bond treat from BBC Audiobooks

September 26, 2008 - Staff@seenituk

With excitement growing about the imminent release of Bond film Quantum of Solace, BBC Audiobooks is serving up a treat for 007 fans with recordings of both Roger Moore’s autobiography and Ian Fleming’s original short story from which the film takes its name.

Due for release on October 6th, My Word is My Bond is Moore’s first ever autobiography which covers the the actor’s seven decade career from early television to the golden age of Hollywood and on to international stardom.

Sir Roger recounts his story with his trademark charm and feeling, leading us through his family life, his marriages, and his later battle with cancer and interweaving his personal history with wonderful stories from the heyday of Hollywood and seven block-buster Bond films.

Here he is uniquely positioned to give an affectionate insight into the Bond family, the close relationships and all the fun on set filming iconic scenes including the ski-chase opening to The Spy Who Loved Me and exploding Scaramanga’s Lair in Live and Let Die.

The book also covers Moore’s work for UNICEF and is peppered with personal anecdotes about Sir Roger’s work with such icons as Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner (who taught him how to kiss), David Niven and Michael Caine with whom he became great friends.

November sees the release of a 5 minute recording of Fleming’s Quantum of Solace short story, read by David Rintoul.

James Bond is bored in the Bahamas. It had been a dull dinner party with dreary guests, yet a chance remark leads the Governor to tell 007 a true story about a civil servant and his scandalous wife.

Over drinks, Bond hears a tale about raw human passions that contains more cruelty and suffering than any experienced by him – and which makes him question the violence in his own life.
