The upcoming audio drama, which is set to be released on 29 October, is based on the first novel in Charlie Higson’s the Young Bond book series, and stars Isaac Rouse (The Crown) in the lead role as 007.
Meanwhile, Marcus (Poldark) will voice Bond’s young friend Red Kelly, while Nathan (The Walking Dead: World Beyond) will voice Eton College bully George Hellebore.
Writer and director Barnaby Edwards added: “I’ve been fortunate enough to have Miriam in my life for two decades now. She’s an extraordinary human being and a phenomenal actress. When I began adapting SilverFin, I was determined to get more female characters into it. Thankfully, IFPL and Charlie Higson gave their blessing to gender-swapping the role of Cleek."
Producer Robert Valentine added: “Casting Miriam Margolyes as the monstrous henchperson Cleek MacSawney was Barnaby’s masterstroke. She’s a phenomenal actor, and absolutely relishes in making MacSawney a vile, revolting, pig-killing ogress. It was a delight watching her work from the back of the studio!”
On the casting, Higson previously said in a statement: “It’s a lot of fun, revisiting the book over 20 years after I first wrote it and reading the scripts thinking, 'Oh, this is good.' And it’s great to be involved in this way, playing a character who develops over the series".
