Monty Norman recalls how he got the inspiration for the ubiquitous Bond theme, while film score composer John Barry (pictured above from 1959) and lyricist Don Black, who created songs for 'Thunderball' (1965), 'Diamonds Are Forever' (1971) and 'The Man with the Golden Gun' (1974), explain the difficulties that surround writing for the franchise. The programme also features Paul McCartney, Tim Rice and Shirley Bassey, all of whom have contributed to the musical legacy of the Bond films. Written by BBC Archive Official Synopsis See less
