I'm surprised this was not announced earlier, did someone miss it? It's as if it has come out of the blue.
With three of the twelve novels now done will EON proceed with adapting the rest? I would love them to as they are so well done and I really enjoy Stephens as Bond - he really can make up for his role in Die Another Day this way!
If they continue, is there a chance of one per year? Any idea Mr. Page? If not, these won't be complete until 2030 if all the books were to be adapted!
Out of the blue indeed. Unlike the first two times, this was kept hush until a week before broadcast. Quite strange. Even the BBC Radio 4 press room has less than their public schedule page. It's almost as if they didn't want anyone to know about it. :S
Fuuny, that. Very odd. Thanks for the info.
Maybe it's not very good :-SS
They should be on YouTube still, if you're lucky.
Thanks, i'm going to listen on that when i get time!

.
Had a quick scan through the book today and I cant find any sign of it. What was Martin Jarvis thinking of? Particularly as this forced and pointless exchange was kept in but the whole Krilencu plot and the gypsy camp was axed.
Nonetheless seeing as EON are unlikely to make any faithful Fleming adaptations any time soon its not bad.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Duration: 1 hour, 30 minutes
First broadcast: Saturday 03 May 2014 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?
Toby Stephens is on top form as 007. A stellar cast includes Joanna Lumley, Alfred Molina, Alex Jennings, Lisa Dillon, John Standing, Janie Dee, Lloyd Owen, Joanna Cassidy, Clare Dunne and Julian Sands, with Jarvis himself as the voice of Fleming.
Specially composed music: Mark Holden and Michael Lopez

Director: Martin Jarvis
Producer: Rosalind Ayres
