It will also feature commentary from a number of famous faces, including Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. In a trailer for The Sound of 007, Broccoli explains why Bond's score is so important.

"James Bond the character doesn't spend a lot of time talking about what he's doing or what he's feeling so the music has always had to kind of give you a sense of what's going on within Bond," she says.

"The adrenaline, the tension, the joy, the anxiety. You hear the Bond theme and it gives you that shot."
