Today, Friday October 5, has been designated by Q branch as Global James Bond Day. So with Skyfall hitting UK cinemas on October 26 – and US ones on November 8 – there's no better time to talk Bond, and Empire is more than happy to oblige.

So join Chris Hewitt, Nick de Semlyen, Dan Jolin and Neil Alcock (aka The Incredible Suit) for a journey through 007's back catalogue. They're joined by Mary Goodnight herself, Britt Ekland, and the director of the new Bond documentary Everything Or Nothing, Stevan Riley. Be warned, however: contains high levels of double entendre...

Don't forget, as well as SoundCloud, you can also download the Empire Podcast from our RSS feed or subscribe to us on iTunes.

ps As this is the Bondiest day of the year – aside from Skyfall's release date, perhaps – here's a special Skyfall video blog celebrating that fact, featuring interviews with Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes and more.
