The 1990s radio adaptation of You Only Live Twice is currently on BBC7:
BBC - BBC Radio 7 Programmes - You Only Live Twice

This version stars Michael Jayston as Bond and also features Clive Merrison as Tanaka and Burt Kwouk as Ando.

This adaptation is based on the original novel by Ian Fleming and hence why they are differences with the 1967 film version.

Whereas You Only Live Twice the movie preceded On Her Majesty's Secret Service, here with the radio adaptation it is the other way around with the story taking place in aftermath of the death of Bond's wife.

Michael Jayston makes a very good and sincere Bond and the radio adaptation is very moving and tense in places but it is very enjoyable.

An obvious in-joke here is when someone shouted out for a Mr Fleming!

Also enjoyable was when Bond and Tanaka played rock, paper, scissors.
