Moonraker

Written By Fleming Never Dies

Is Moonraker (1979) the most under-appreciated 007 film among James Bond aficionados?

Thomas Felix Creighton discusses this question with his special guest, who as CEO of Shogun Films has recently produced a British spy film of his own; Knightfall (2026) even has Roger Moore’s son Geoffrey, along with Sir Roger Moore's successor in the role of Simon Templar (aka 'The Saint'), Ian Ogilvy.

Thomas and Jonathan Sothcott cover such questions as:

  • Should Bond reflect the real world of espionage?

  • How does James Bond influence his fans' behaviour?

  • Does it matter if the 007 films are 'accurate' to the original book series?

All this and a good discussion of menswear... after all, Jonathan Sothcott is the author of The Jermyn Street Shirt
