MI6 Confidential, the full-colour magazine celebrating the world of James Bond 007, returns with its twenty-fourth issue.

All cinematic icons have their backroom stalwarts, and this issue pays homage to four of them. The screenwriting duo, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, writers of the five most recent adventures talk candidly about their years with Bond; Mark Mawston recalls a meeting with esteemed composer, John Barry; and we caught up with director John Glen for an exclusive interview, touching on all elements of his career.

Other features in this issue help it to truly span the length and breadth of Bond’s 50 years, with features on the American girls from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and a look at the audience reaction to Daniel Craig’s grittier Bond of the new millennium.
