The CD also includes a short interview with David Tennant conducted by producer Lucy Fleming, the author's niece. David muses on the similarities between this story and the James Bond novels and the fact that a fifty year old novel still has such a timeless quality
"I think that the idea of a flying car is still as appealing now as it ever was," he says, "I think there's a timelessness to its sense of 'boy's own adventure'.Yes, it feels like a period piece but it doesn't feel out of date, or dated in a negative sense."
