I did miss Bob Holness out quite correct, but he was definitely not the first, he was second to Barry Nelson as confirmed in this extract from his wiki biography:

Radio career
In 1955, Holness received his first job as a radio presenter and, a year later, became the second actor to portray James Bond (after Barry Nelson in the 1954 TV special Casino Royale) in a radio production of Moonraker for the SABC's Springbok Radio.[2][3][5]

I just read that Mick, but on the radio this afternoon they werent accurate and said Bob was first which clearly he wasnt!

Then I think a letter to Radio 2 is called for from the FCF pointing out their deficiency in the strongest possible terms !!

Or we could just accept that Radio 2 is not Radio 4!!

You have got to be joking Heardle
Falcon 1 Heardle 6
70's (2 secs);
Match analysis
Who knew it started with the spoken "Son of a gun" Classic 70's song dispatched beautifully by the Falcon as the only high point in the match. When Heardle came in with rap for the 80's the game was effectively over.

Original: Clueless
Sixties: Recognised but unable to name.
Seventies: Full 17". So quiet I had to increase the volume 50% and start it again.
Eighties: Not a chance.
Nineties: Vague recognition but fail as usual.
00s: No hope.
New 00s. Same.

Absolutely hopeless today. Half recognised the 60s, 70s and 80s but no score at all!

Same here, not a single one.
