Radio 4 is continuing its season of reruns of the Toby Stephens 007 plays this weekend with a repeat of Diamonds are Forever, Archie Scottney’s adaptation of Ian Fleming’s fourth book.

The play was first broadcast in 2015. There’s no space lasers or Blofeld – more bent horse races and the Spang brothers.

As ever, the period detail is impeccable – the sound effects and foley work really pull you back to the Cold War period – and they’ve assembled a strong cast, including Stacy Keach as Ernie Cureo, Bond’s taxi-driving helper in Vegas

Read our full review here, and catch the play at 2.45 pm on Saturday November 28 on Radio 4.
