    Not Eve or Moneypenny, although I can definitely see why you might think so ... If nobody gets it by this evening I’ll drop an extra clue to keep things moving.

    Really? That would be a nice cheeky trick of Max. I guessed him last round.
    Tiffany Case?

    Sorry, should have worded that last clue better ... I’ve edited it to make it clear it’s referring to another film - should help!

    And .......... we have a winner!!!!!! It is of course the exquisite Mei-Lei

    5JggBM0g.jpg

    The clues are as follows:

    The usual, shaken not stirred.
    ...Cheers!
    (Mei-Lei prepares Bond a martini, shaken not stirred. He then makes a toast to Operation Grandslam)

    You’re on your own next time.
    (When Bond boards the JetStar again at the end of the film, Mei-Lei is nowhere to be seen, despite Felix telling the stewardess to prepare liquor for three)

    Bond may have seen the real me on his night off.
    (Mai-Ling also starred in Call Me Bwana, the cinema poster for which appears in FRWL)

    I’m close to suffering a split personality, it’s all a bit meta.
    (The actress’ name - sometimes credited as Mei-Ling - is very close to the name of the character she plays)

    Don’t call me Tom!
    (You could accuse her of being a Peeping Tom when spying on Bond in the bathroom!)

    Accidents do happen!
    (Mei-Lei informs Bond his attaché case damaged when examined)

    We are on our way to becoming good friends.
    (The plane is on its way to Friendship Airport, Baltimore)

    I’m not a fully qualified spy yet, but I take my work seriously.
    (Spies on Bond while he is in the bathroom - she certainly doesn’t give up easily)

    Bond lets me down gently.
    (On landing, Bond helps Mei-Lei by opening the folding steps).

    You will see the real me again in another film ... but with less clothes!
    (Mai-Ling appeared as one of the bath girls tending to Bond in YOLT)

    Congratulations to @Birdleson, the golden baton passes back to you!

    Well I’m sure it’s a red herring, but Le Chiffre?

    Hmm, now I think about it, could be right villain but wrong sex ... Elektra?

    Great round! Can't say I ever knew Mei-Lei was one of the bath girls in YOLT, that's great.

    Che-Che?

    Not Che Che. Interesting tidbit; Che Che is one of very few characters that I can think of that were killed off by Fleming, but not in the films (another being Irma Bundt).

    Good point. Looking into him, I never realized he had two other roles in the films, appearing as part of the sub crew in TSWLM and one of the waiters in LALD. Somehow never knew that was him.

    That's right, I had forgotten his name was Samuel. Contemplated playing him a few times throughout the years. Good show as usual, Mr. B!

    I've been sitting on one for a while now. Hope to have it up and going by tonight.
