Thomas Felix Creighton talks to David Zaritsky of 'The Bond Experience' about the Britishness of 1969's James Bond 007 adventure, 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'.

The movie has an Australian star, an American and a Canadian producer, and was certainly made for export... so why does this film feel so extremely 'British'?

Thomas Felix Creighton interviews Calvin Dyson, one of the first people to set up a 007-themed Youtube channel, and asks 'Which is the 'most British' James Bond film?'. Don't worry, we *do* talk about the TV animated series 'James Bond Jr.'!

Thomas adds a fun fact about the ending For Your Eyes Only, which ultimately comes from the John Glen book 'For My Eyes Only', hardback edition page 115. It did not come from 'a man down the pub'.

Thomas Felix Creighton continues The Alphabet of Britishness, looking especially at Queen Victoria.

The first ten minutes covers:

Thomas’ top three cinematic and TV depictions of Queen Victoria

1. Mrs. Brown (1997)
2. The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970)
3. Doctor Who “Tooth and Claw” (modern season 2, episode 2)

...and also in brief some other 'V' topics such as:

• Victoria & Albert Museum
• Vauxhall (London)
• Vermouth
• Vesper (seems silly not to)
• Victory! Although perhaps we’ll cover this far more in the next installment…
• Vicar - again a great suggestion for a deep dive
• Viceroy – check out my video and podcast episode looking at my top five books on the British Empire: www.youtube.com/britishculture
• Vickers machine gun

The main part of this podcast comprises of two readings, one on the height of the Victorian Era, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897, and the second on The Great Exhibition of 1851.

• “Pax Britannica: The Climax of the Empire” by James / Jan Morris.
• “A Portrait of Britain Between the Exhibitions 1851 – 1951” by Donald Lindsay and E.S. Washington, part of the Oxford Introduction to British History series.
