    No cigar just yet, a couple more clues added above - I’ve a feeling these might do the trick, we’re definitely getting to the ‘big’ clue stage now! Good luck!

    Two more clues for today coming up - I’m afraid I’ve exhausted my creativity and am now having to rely on the in-your-face clues now, so a correct answer should be imminent! Fingers on buzzers!!

    Klaus Hergesheimer?

    Close but no cigar ...

    ... who am I kidding, OF COURSE it’s the wonderful Klaus Hergersheimer (with an r!), well I was predicting a ‘fingers on buzzers’ finish, but I didn’t expect it to be that close! Thank goodness the mods didn’t have to step in and break up a fist fight!!

    Congrats to @goldenswissroyale and a hearty well done to @pachazo ... explanation coming right up!

    Clue 1: Some people love their single malts, but single digits are my passion.
    (visits Section 5, no doubt he spends a lot of time in Sections 1-4 as well)

    Clue 2: You may think I’m religious, but I couldn’t comment
    (Played by Ed Bishop, but we can’t draw any conclusions about the character’s religious beliefs)

    Clue 3: You wouldn’t want to be without me.
    (Checking radiation shields is clearly a vital health and safety role)

    Clue 4: I’m happy to give you something, but you might not be happy to receive it
    (Part of my job is to replace failing radiation shields, but giving you a new one means yours has already failed!)

    Clue 5: I may be helpful, but it will surely be my undoing
    (Lets Bond into WW Tectronics with no checks, surely a disciplinary action when found out - and possibly cat food if Blofeld has a hand)

    Clue 6: Clue 1 may be true, but you’ll find I’m associated with letters as well.
    (works in Section G of WW Tectronics)

    Clue 7: Having trouble remembering my name? I’m on the tip of your tongue, but you can’t quite get me out ...
    (Guy Hamilton used to refer to a ‘whatdyamacallit’ as ‘Hergersheimer’, so Mankiewicz used this name as an inside joke)

    Clue 8: Come in please ... oh hang on, that was the previous gig!
    (Ed Bishop appeared briefly in the opening shots of YOLT as a radio operator)

    Clue 9: Like a great magician, sometimes there is one of me and sometimes there are two
    (Bond impersonates Klaus, at which point there are two Klauses in the building)

    Clue 10: Like a great magician, I disappear over here, only to reappear over there
    (As Bond - impersonating Klaus - leaves through one door of the lab, the real Klaus enters through the other door)

    Clue 11: It’s clear Bond isn’t going very far without me!
    (Bond doesn’t have a keycard but Klaus comes along with his just in time)


    Clue 12: I’m sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr Bond!
    (When Klaus asks where his radiation shield is, Bond replies he’s been waiting a couple of days for one to be delivered.)

    Clue 13: Thanks to me, Bond feels much safer!
    (After giving Bond a radiation shield, he tells Klaus he feels much safer now)

    Clue 14: You’ll find me in a restricted area, authorised personnel only!
    (As per the signs around WW Tectronics)

    Well, I hope I’ve not let the side down, I did take my role as questionmaster very seriously, but I’m happy to hand over to the supremely capable @goldenswissroyale while I make my speedy exit in a taxi ... dressed as a lady ... with a cat on my lap!! 😝👍

    You didn't let the side down at all. It was. A very good round @Max_The_Parrot . And I didn't know clue 8. Interesting.
    Clue 13 was the door opener for me.
    I will start a new round in the next hour.

    The Ed Bishop clue was a clever one. Well done, I am stupid as always, couldn t figure it out.

    Named character:
    1. We all know what C stands for...
    2. I'm quite happy with the situation.
    3. I don't care about the theoretic details.
    4. Bond likes my story.
    5. Bond wouldn't recognise me next time.
    6. There are at least three specific similarities between my appearance and the one of Chew Mee.
    7. The guided tour ends at my place.
