    I can see you’re thinking, but it’s not her sorry

    Can't fit her in on all the clues, but as I'm completely clueless otherwise: the girl bond zooms in on in the q scene in octopussy?

    Can see you’re thinking as well, but not her either. I don’t think we’ll ever see the likes of that scene again in Bond, but I was watching Octopussy the other night and it still raises a juvenile titter(!!) from me when I see it - that Roger was a little scamp!

    A far out guess inspired by another thread: The Lovers Card from LALD?

    It’s neither of those sorry. Sorry it’s proving so elusive, I didn’t mean it to be particularly tricksy - whilst I’d play animal characters it’s definite nothing as outlandishly bold as the Tarot cards, although it’s an ingenious guess. In this case it is a bona fide flesh and blood human character with a speaking part you’re looking for, promise! And the clues do make sense (I hope!) - once you know what the character is, of course!

    I’ve actually run out of prepared clues with today’s offering, so if any more clues are needed I suspect we will get to a win pretty quickly, but I try not to make them so obvious that all the effort you guys put into guessing is undone. 🤞

    Is it Charles Grey's Blofeld? That's the only thing I can think of that hasn't been stated yet

    It’s not Blofeld (any version) but thanks for having a go @Daniel316 - keep trying! 🤞

    Guess the EON character

    1. I give Bond a sneak preview of something
    2. I enjoy being the bearer of bad news ...
    3. ... although I’ve got some of my facts wrong
    4. My work today is the opposite of what it usually is
    5. I’m seen flirting with someone who is already spoken for
    6. A small rodent, maybe?
    7. Hair up or hair down? I’ll try both
    8. I say nothing at all during my first encounter with Bond
    9. Either I’ve shrunk or Bond is a long distance away the second time he sees me...
    10. ...and this time I have plenty to say ...
    11. Until I’m rudely interrupted mid-sentence - and that’s the last you’ll see of me!
    12. Bond is a charmer, but the other guy is a real turn off
    13. Will it be deja vu? Alas Bond didn’t behave!
    14. You might not know my name (yet) but there are plenty of other people who do
    15. I’m not for rent, but you could see me most days if you wanted to
    16. Not LBD, quite the opposite
    17. Could it be magic? Bond finds me with two of the same person at the same time ...
    18. ...and all of us are now significantly different from the way Bond left us after our first encounter
    19. Now I’m no longer useful, I’m being firmly ejected from this particular meeting ...
    20. ... It’s the sort of task Solitaire would have been better suited for
    21 Ode to a Jolly Gathering
    Can you see me looking like the Romanova Star?
    My dress appears to be a popular colour,
    Goodness, I was careful to laugh politely and yet
    Now I’m cast aside for another!

    Irina (GE) seems to fits some clues but not all. At this point I'm going to throw anything against the wall though.

    I had thought about her as well.

    I think it's Tamara Steel from TND...

    My goodness, that was tough!

    Wait..Is she the Media outlet for Carver who tells him they're off the air? If so..by god I think you're vorrect, the clues match up

    No, she is at the party, but she is the newscaster on the videotape when Bond discovers the body of Paris. Ejected by Dr. Kaufman no less.

    Wow, I forgot that's even a character. That's really specific lol.

    Tamara is out of the bag!! Very well done @pachazo it is indeed Tamara Steel, Carver Media Group’s finest newsreader, and perfect timing as I was rapidly running out of things to say about her - my next clues was going to be ‘it’s the woman on the telly in Bond’s hotel room’! 😝

    1. I give Bond a sneak preview of something
    (the news report)

    2. I enjoy being the bearer of bad news ...
    (It’s a job that involves giving bad news every day)

    3. ... although I’ve got some of my facts wrong
    (Bond isn’t dead yet!)

    4. My work today is the opposite of what it usually is
    (Reporting the news before it’s happened)

    5. I’m seen flirting with someone who is already spoken for
    (rubs her hand suggestively over Carver’s shoulder at the party)

    6. A small rodent, maybe?
    (Tamara is an anagram of ‘am a rat’)

    7. Hair up or hair down? I’ll try both
    (wears hair down at the party and up in the news report)

    8. I say nothing at all during my first encounter with Bond
    (during the party)

    9. Either I’ve shrunk or Bond is a long distance away the second time he sees me...
    (she’s shrunk - to the size of a small TV screen)

    10. ...and this time I have plenty to say ...
    (her pre-recorded news broadcast)

    11. Until I’m rudely interrupted mid-sentence - and that’s the last you’ll see of me!
    (Dr Kaufman stops her mid-flow...)

    12. Bond is a charmer, but the other guy is a real turn off
    (...by turning off the TV!)

    13. Will it be deja vu? Alas Bond didn’t behave!
    (the prerecorded news report was due to air that evening, but Bond didn’t die)

    14. You might not know my name (yet) but there are plenty of other people who do
    (appears on TV so well known to viewers)

    15. I’m not for rent, but you could see me most days if you wanted to
    (The VHS tape of her performance isn’t available in Blockbuster, but she appears regularly on the Carver news programme)

    16. Not LBD, quite the opposite
    (LBD being an oft-used abbreviation for little black dress, Tamara wears a little white dress to Carver’s party)

    17 Could it be magic? Bond finds me with two of the same person at the same time
    (As Bond walks over to the real Paris, dead on his bed, Tamara and a photograph of Paris are visible on the TV screen)

    18 And all of us are now significantly different from the way Bond left us after our first encounter
    (The real Paris is now dead, the other Paris and Tamara are a recording on the TV screen)

    19 Now I’m no longer needed, I’m rudely ejected from this particular meeting ...
    (Kaufman ejects the tape after Bond gets the point)

    20 ... Perhaps it was the sort of task Solitaire would have been better suited for?
    (reporting events that haven’t happened yet)

    21 Ode to a Jolly Gathering (Carver’s party)

    Can you see me looking like the Romanova Star? (not the Romanov Star from OP, but wearing a choker like Tatiana does)
    My dress appears to be a popular colour (a lot of the surrounding guests in shot, including Carver’s PA, are also wearing white dresses)
    Goodness, I was careful to laugh politely and yet (laughs politely at Carver’s joke like all good employees should)
    Now I’m cast aside for another! (when Wai Lin appears, Carver wanders off with her)

    The ode is also an acrostic with the first letters spelling out CMGN - Carver Media Group Network

    Well done to everyone for your efforts, @Daniel316 hope you’ll join us for the next round, although beware the Guess the Character mob are all fiendish question setters! Good luck and back with our worthy winner @pachazo ! 👍

    I love that list. I would have loved to have seen the clues for some of these characters... Moneypenny's Boyfriend, lol.

    I have a character in mind that hasn't been used yet.

    Tough and great round again. I didn't even know that she (Tamara) was the same character at the party and on the VHS...Always good to learn new trivia.

    Those were excellent clues, Max. Great job once again.

    Alright, let's get the next one underway. Are you ready for another...

    Eon Character :

    1) You can find me above the first five letters.
    2) Hobnobbing away.
    3) Excuse me, but I really must be going now.
    4) Although difficult to hear, I provide some information in order to gain access to something very rare and valuable.
