Voiced by David Graham, Tesland appears in The Man From MI.5.
A Search Too Late[]
Somewhere off the French Riviera, MI.5 agents Tesland and Bondson arrive at Captain Blacker's Yacht - just as it explodes! Tesland helps his partner prep for diving on the wrecked vessel; and Bondson describes to him, by radio, what he finds. "Poor chap," on hearing their fellow agent is dead, "no one could have survived that explosion."
"There's more to it," Bondson adds - Blacker was murdered!
And, worse still: someone has taken the plans of a nuclear device that were hidden inside a torch battery...
