Goldfinger: The Radiogram (Part 2)

Further to a previous spleen-vent, don’t forget to tune in to Radio 4 at 2.30 this Saturday afternoon to listen to the picture-free version of Ian Fleming’s Goldfinger, especially if you like listening to well-known actors exaggerating all their lines as if the lack of visuals means they have to act twice as hard and twice as loud using only their vocal chords.

In case you find it difficult to cope without some kind of visual stimulus you could always goggle at this picture of the cast while listening, although you may be distracted by Rosamund Pike’s visible discomfort at having Tim Pigott-Smith’s hand on her shoulder. It’s either that or Tom Hollander’s hand on her beautocks.

To get you in the mood, here’s a one-minute clip:

ACTORS, ACTING

Alternatively, you could always watch the film

Or read the book

Or listen to the soundtrack

Or read the comic strip

Or wear the watch

Or play with the car

Or eat off the plate
