  1. Considering he's just left the grave of his wife, the woman killed by the man that's now trying to kill him, Bond seems quite jovial about the whole thing.

  2. I think, could be wrong, but...first opening "video" to feature the artist doing the theme?

  3. Roger does seem to be looking his age now but can't blame him for coming back after the last one to make amends.

  4. The identagraph...takes two people four hours to draw a cartoon, and needs an entire room to itself. Modern technology is a wonderful thing.

  5. I put Bibi down as a Bondgirl, but really she just gets on his wick in an entirely different way.

  6. Well I didn't realise Charles Dance was in this. Every day's a school day!

  7. Just been double checking. This apparently marks the biggest age gap between Bond and the main Bond girl...30 years!!

  10. Bond's wardrobe seems to be on the slide in this one. It's a long, slippery slope to the Members Only Jacket in A View to a Kill.

  12. Moore does 'stone cold' Bond so well. Would have loved to see him do it more often

  15. Is there a brand of Christmas cracker that has parts in Bond films in them? I assume that's how Bibi got her role.
