Interesting observation, I think you're right. I expect you're aware of his portrayal of James Bond on the radio... and even though he's always been pretty busy on tv and film he's never quite become as well known as you'd expect him to...
@@MysticalMagpie-wo5fn Oh indeed, I found those online (and have re-listened to them through your site) since, as is unaccountably often the case, the BBC only kept them briefly available on their Sounds app. Very good adaptations, I thought!
Oh, he's the man. I love him as James Bond. I'll give you a good tip as far as his screen work as well. Check out Perfect Strangers by Stephen Poliakoff.
Between this, The Cruel Sea, and The Eagle Has Landed, BBC radio were on a bit of a roll in the 1990s, when it came to outdoing the movie adaptations...
Absolutely right, and his dad was Robert Stephens - who some might know best as Aragorn in the BBC radio series of Lord of the Rings. Luckily for him his made his own name rather than being compared to his parents.
A great story and very well done. Thanks
This is a brilliant listen. I close my eyes, and I'm there with them. Superb.
I can't help but think that Toby Stephens is a really underrated actor! His work in so many radio dramatisations is excellent, I think.

Is that Michael Williams (Dr. Watson) as Commodore Jensen?
Absolutely right, it is. It's a pretty ace cast all round...
