Radio adaptation of `You Only Live Twice` broadcast online

The BBC audio adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1964 James Bond novel "You Only Live Twice" is being streamed online this week.

First recorded in 1990, the radio version was read by British actor Michael Jayston. It is a faithful adaptation of Fleming's novel, rather than the 1967 film starring Sean Connery.

BBC Radio 7 are streaming the 90-minute production this week only via the official website.

Jayston is the only actor to play both Ian Fleming's James Bond 007 and the Doctor in "Doctor Who". He played Bond in the BBC radio adaptation of You Only Live Twice and was at one point considered for the role on film. He portrayed the Valeyard, a possible future, evil incarnation of the Doctor, throughout the 1986 series of "Doctor Who".
