  • First broadcasted on April 3, 2010.
    Dramatisation of Ian Fleming's classic novel. When James Bond begins his pursuit of an international criminal, he discovers that a daring heist is on the agenda - and mass murder.
    Ian Fleming's 1959 novel faithfully dramatised by Archie Scottney and directed by Martin Jarvis. Toby Stephens returns as 007, and a glittering cast is led by Ian McKellen in the title role. With cameo roles by top actors - all delighted to contribute to this remarkable Fleming adventure. Rosamund Pike plays wacky gang-boss Pussy Galore and Lisa Dillon is the vengeful Tilly Masterton. John Standing returns as 'M.' Tom Hollander, Tim Pigott-Smith and American star Hector Elizondo as New York City mobsters. Bond and Goldfinger are joined in the famous golf game by Alistair McGowan as the caddie, Hawker. Henry Goodman, Ian Ogilvy and Lloyd Owen contribute to the excitement. And Jon David Yu throws his bowler-hat with deadly effect as 'Oddjob.'
    Auric Goldfinger is not only a cheat at canasta and golf, he's also an international criminal on a massive scale. His obsession: gold. James Bond is charged by the Bank of England and MI5 to discover what Goldfinger is actually doing with his vast hoards of gold. Is he somehow connected with SMERSH - the feared soviet spy-killing organisation? When 007 becomes an undercover member of Goldfinger's team he soon learns that the madman's plans are more grandiose than even 'M' could possibly have imagined. Amazingly, robbing Fort Knox is on the agenda - and mass murder...

      I love the Bond Series.... all things Bond.
      However... the books did make me view the films are cardboard comics into relationship to Fleming himself.
      Most certainly should, all the candid moments of Bond are what makes these stories.... a Television show would give us an opportunity to slow down stop relying on the "shaken not stirred" and cheekie jokes.
      My favorite element of this novel (unsure if it's in this adaptation) is Bond in the office on the graveyard shift reading over a desk lamp.

    That said, it must be admitted (at 68) that there's a lot that's really dumb about this story (and this radio production). Still listening to them all, anyway. :-)

      @@2msvalkyrie529 They’re playing two completely different characters. To be so dismissive is a bit short-sided, and saying, basically, at least he’s pretty is just really condescending. He’s an incredible actor in his own right. His portrayal of Captain Flint in Black Sails is possibly the best long-form acting I’ve ever seen. He would’ve made a brilliant Bond, had he not played Graves.
