Licence To Kill (1989), plus Toby Kebbell on Dead Man's Shoes and more
About this episode
This episode discusses the grittier turn of James Bond in 'Licence To Kill' and features an interview with Toby Kebbell about 'Dead Man's Shoes'.
James Bond 007 took a grittier turn with 1989's Licence To Kill, an adventure that was the first and only Bond film very specifically written for Timothy Dalton. It was an attempt to turn Bond grittier, and would mark the end of an era for many involved in the saga. Plus, it would end up doing box office battles with some tougher than expected competition. For the second half of this episode, Simon is talking Dead Man's Shoes with actor Toby Kebbell, for whom it marked his first film apperance. The movie is finally available on Blu-ray for the first time, and Toby is not short of stories about it... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
