Young Bonding With Charlie Higson: Upcoming Radio/TV Interviews

Covering the announcement of 'Double or Die' as the title of 'Young Bond 3'

I think he just mentioned (although I can't hear it very well at the moment) that Bond will get kicked out of school in Book 5, although it won't be quite as M described in the obituary.

Yep, that's the plan. It's set in the Summer of 1934 and will involve the "incident with the maid" (we'll finally learn what that means). The Royal Family and the British Secret Service may also be involved.

Has Charlie said anything about Book 4 in these interviews? All we know so far is Mexico, The Caribbean, and a female villain.

I couldn't hear properly. Don't forget that you can listen again to any of the BBC ones on the BBC website; he turned up at about 9.30 (so 2hr 30min into the show) on the 6music breakfast show. I think Jupitus even ended the interview with a touch of Higson's old band!

Is there a way to jump to the Higson interviews? When I've tried this before, I've had to listen to the whole show.

There is an option of skipping in 5 mins or 15 mins

Yeah- it can vary from station to station and depends on which browser you're using. I'm afraid I can't remember which! It may even depend on whether you choose to listen in Realplayer or Window Media.

That's cool. I did find a nice video clip of Charlie being interviewed.

Where abouts?

Thanks. I agree with people who are surprised at his voice, I got the Audio CD of BloodFever from the library recently, read by Higson, he's a good reader, not as good as Stephen Fry, but he's still good.
