Australia TV - Fox Classics confirm James Bond season line-up, Roger Moore interview

As MI6 first reported earlier this month, Australia's Fox Classics will air the first 16 James Bond films on basic cable for the first time anywhere in the world, after securing the TV rights in what it is billing as "a landmark deal."

Fox Classics will launch its Bond. Classic Bond. season on August 31, screening two Bond movies each Sunday night for eight weeks, running chronologically through the titles, from 1962's Dr No to 1989's Licence To Kill, according to C21Media.

The channel will also air Roger Moore: Classic Bond, an exclusive, one-off interview with the third actor to play the character, on September 28, to tie in with the season.

Penny Win, group channel manager for W. and Fox Classics, said: "For Fox Classics to be the first basic cable channel in the world to air these 16 iconic Bond movies is a fabulous opportunity to fly the flag high.

"We'll be rolling out the full campaign over the next six months, and for the first time Fox Classics is really embracing on-air interactive with these movies."
