was a radio drama adaptation of Ian Fleming's 1961 novel that first aired on December 10th 2016 on the BBC's main spoken-word channel, Radio 4. It is the sixth of seven new James Bond radio plays produced by the station and starred Toby Stephens as the titular character for the sixth time.
The radio drama adaptation of Thunderball begins with a clandestine meeting between criminal mastermind Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Italian pilot Giuseppe Petacchi. Petacchi is in SPECTRE's pay to hijack a Vindicator delta-wing bomber in mid-flight by killing its crew and flying it (and its atomic payload) to the Bahamas. Meanwhile, in London, James Bond's health is being assessed by his superior, M, who sends the agent on a two-week treatment at the Shrublands health clinic. At the clinic Bond encounters Count Lippe, a member of the Red Lightning Tong criminal organisation from Macau. When Bond learns of the Tong connection, Lippe tries to kill him by tampering with a spinal traction machine. Bond, however, is saved by nurse Patricia Fearing and later retaliates against Lippe by trapping him in a steam bath, resulting in the Count's second degree burns and a week's stay in hospital which jeopardizes SPECTRE's scheme.
In Paris, Blofeld convenes a meeting of SPECTRE's hierarchy to discuss their Plan Omega - a plot to hijack the Vindicator bomber and seize its two nuclear bombs, which they will use unless a £100,000,000 ransom is paid. The plan is delayed and steps are taken to liquidate Lippe (Petacchi's handler and the man tasked with delivering the organization's ransom letter) for his behavior. Details are provided by Dr. Kalyagin, the organization's physicist, who notes that Emilio Largo (the operation's commander) and his yacht, the Disco Volante, are on location in the Bahamas posing as treasure hunters. The operation goes according to plan and the greedy Petacchi flies the aircraft to its rendezvous where he is killed upon delivery. Shortly thereafter, the British Prime Minister receives a ransom letter from Blofeld threatening to destroy expensive piece of western property and a major city unless the ransom is paid. Bond meets with M and the quartermaster, Q, during which the agent is briefed on the theft. On a hunch, M sends 007 to the Bahamas to investigate.
