The James Bond Files ~
Robert Short

James Bond Avalanche

In April 2023, on his radio program Flashback, which aired online over the internet radio station KSAV, Wesley Britton continued a “James Bond Avalanche” to celebrate the 70 years of Agent 007. Featured were several authors, actors, behind-the-scenes folks, and fans of the world of James Bond.

The series continues on Monday, April 4, 2023, with an interview with technical advisor Bob Short, who has worked on a number of films in Hollywood, including the made-for-TV movie The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E. (1983).

Did you know producer Michael Sloan had George Lazenby in mind when he created ”The Equalizer“? What’’s the inside story to George driving that silver Aston-Martin DB-5 with the “JB” license plate in the U.N.C.L.E. movie?

Bob Short takes you behind the scenes with the unique story of how one TV revival came to the small screen during the year of “The Battle of the Bonds” when Roger Moore (Octopussy) and Sean Connery (Never Say Never Again) hit the big screens while the other Bond – George Lazenby – did his return in the MFU TV movie!

Also on the program was author and Bond fan Mark O’Connell.

The interview is available as a podcast on Wesley Britton’s podcast Remember When. To listen, click the link below.
