PLOT SUMMARY

Jonathan Ross explores the worlds of James Bond, interviewing many of the participants in the most successful film franchise of all time. Special attention is paid to the then-current Goldeneye (1995).

An excellent guide to the James Bond films that tells most fans nothing they didn't already know but does it in a stylish and often very funny way. Host Jonathan Ross, as ever, seems to bring the best out of his interviewees.
