Looking forward to seeing Casino Royale at "the flicks" tonight.
I think that I saw my first James Bond Film when I was 8 or 9 years old (Live and Let Die). The chap who took us to see it was a bit of a Sean Connory fan, and was disappointed at Roger Moore's "reliance on gadgets" as he put it.
So he treated my Brother and I to a double-bill showing of Dr No and Goldfinger the following week. I can still remember our chuckles and "what did you say about gadgets" comments as the Aston Martin was taken through it's paces, with revolving number plates, bullet proof shield, oil slicks, machine guns, rotating knives in the wheels and ejector seat.
Having said that Goldfinger is probably still my favourite Bond film.
Incidentally, more evidence that the future is here, satellite navigation used to be issued only to 00 agents by Q department. Now you can buy them in Halfords. Perhaps they'll be selling Giro-copters next week?
