David Tennant Talks Bond



The James Bond adventure, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, read by David Tennant is released today. But what does David think of the story?
Yes, it’s the Bond yarn where the unthinkable happens: 007 gets wed! “You have this extraordinary thing where James Bond, the ultimate bachelor, gets married,” enthuses narrator David Tennant. “I was aware that this is the story where that happens, but it still comes as a surprise. I think it comes as a surprise to Bond himself in the book. It seems to come from left field, this extraordinary decision he makes in the airport to wed, which he seems to make sense of to himself retrospectively. I think that’s quite interesting.”
One other aspect that surprised Tennant was how faithful the film of OHMSS turned out to be, something which can’t be said of all Bond movies: “I daresay that’s a tribute to the narrative of this book in that it was hard to resist when they came to film it. It’s got a forward momentum and drive that carries you through.” 

David tells the classic tale over 8 CDs:
In his Alpine base, Blofeld is developing biological weapons that will devastate Britain. Unaware of the danger, James Bond is about to get married to Teresa di Vicenzo, the daughter of a Corsican Mafioso. But then he is sent to Switzerland. Bond's marriage and Blofeld's schemes disintegrate in a blizzard of gunfire and high explosive from which neither man emerges the victor.

David Tennant Reads On Her Majesty's Secret Service - Audiobook Review




David Tennant is a consummate reader of audiobooks, previously having brought to vivid life such titles as My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Flies Again and, of course, the How To Train Your Dragon series by Cressida Cowell. Now he turns his vocal talents to a classic modern British adventure story to read On Her Majesty’s Service, one of Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels. We've had a sneak peak (or whatever the aural equivalent is) and we can tell you that this is definitely set to be another David favourite. 

Dropping his native accent in favour of something more Home Counties, David Tennant takes up the tale as 007 embarks on another danger-packed mission to save the world from a criminal threat.

Following information given to him by crime syndicate boss Marc-Ange Draco, Bond continues his pursuit of Ernst Blofeld and SPECTRE to Switzerlandwhile also finding time to romance Draco’s daughter. The drama finds him making a breathless downhill escape on skis from the enemy base, told at a galloping pace by Tennant. Bond dodges avalanches and SPECTRE guards, even finding the time to swig a little nip of alcohol between threats. Tennant handles the changes of pace deftly – from the poignancy, almost ennui, in the opening passages of the novel through adrenaline-fuelled pursuit to utter exhaustion and relief – and as a listener we are drawn so easily into Bond’s world that it almost feels as though we are shoulder to shoulder with him as the mystery unravels.

Yet as the adventure draws to a close there is an unfortunate escape and a terrible tragedy.

The audio release also includes an exclusive interview with David Tennant

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is one in a series of twelve Ian Fleming novels read by some of the country’s finest acting talent for the 007 Reloaded series. The series is now available to pre-order from AudioGo and each pre-order includes entry into a competition to win a special one-off prize: a facsimile of the first-edition hardback novel of the same story, signed by the star reader. The series is released on CD and MP3 download on September 6th 2012.
