Film information

Commander Talbot played by Bryan Marshall is the first ally of The Spy Who Loved Me. Directly after the pre-title sequence the HMS Ranger captained by Commander Talbot is the first submarine to be captured by Stromberg and The Liparus.

Commander Talbot and his crew assist Bond and the other submarine crews in their take-over of The Liparus. Talbot is killed however when one of Stromberg’s men drops a grenade at his feet from above.

Character information

Commander Talbot is the serious captain of the HMS Ranger. Completely different from the more light-hearted Captain Carter, Talbot is serious, formal, and plays by the book at all times. Since Talbot and his crew are kept prisoners on The Liparus little else is learnt about the character. §
