    Neither of those I'm afraid; I'll add more clues.

    It's not Mollaka I'm afraid.

    1. "Who do you work for?!" There's only one way of getting into this field of operations.
    2. Sounds like he's been pulling too hard.
    3. They're supposed to be very slimming.
    4. Sir Tom could have been singing about me, although I'd rather walk while others run.
    5. But they're pioneers, they never say die
    6. "Well, I'm an early riser myself"
    7. Neither of us drive the latest model, but at least mine is newer than Bond's.
    8. I seem to be a bit of a xenophobe- you'd think I would have more human kindness.
    9. I work alone
    10. They're a good fit.

    Most of us give two new clues every day. This way, noone loses interest. I'm definitely ready for new clues.

    Okay, the guesses stopped coming so I wasn't sure if it was still going. I'll add some new ones.

    The guesses usually stop when we don't have any good ideas but there are always a few members waiting for more clues.

    Yes, always keep the clues coming please. No guesses means we are stuck. Is it Davidov?

    Not Davidov no, but good thinking.

    Milkman killed by Necros?

    Seems a good fit with a lot of the clues

    Milkman killed by Necros?

    Hooray! Yes @goldenswissroyale , you got it, well done. Which one turned it for you?


    1. "Who do you work for?!" There's only one way of getting into this field of operations.
    Milky works for Unigate Dairies: you get into a field through a gate, and 'uni' suggests there's only one.

    2. Sounds like he's been pulling too hard.
    Milky's only line is "Bloody yanks!". If you've been yanking something so much it's actually bloody then you've been pulling too hard :)

    3. They're supposed to be very slimming.
    Milky wears an apron with vertical stripes, which are famously very slimming.

    4. Sir Tom could have been singing about me, although I'd rather walk while others run.
    Sir Tom Jones famously sang "It's Not Unusual", and the Blayden security man refers to Milky as 'the usual man'.
    Also, judging by his reaction to Necros, Milky isn't keen on runners.

    5. But they're pioneers, they never say die
    'Pioneers, they never say die' is a repeated lyric from the song 'Three Wheels on my Wagon' - Milky drives a three-wheeled milk float.

    6. "Well, I'm an early riser myself"
    Milkmen get up really early.

    7. Neither of us drive the latest model, but at least mine is newer than Bond's.
    When they both arrive at the Blayden security gate we can see that Bond drives a car with a numberplate with a 'B' prefix, whilst the milk float has a 'C' prefix. At the time of the film's release in 1987 the milk float would have been two years old, Bond's Aston Martin was three years old.

    8. I seem to be a bit of a xenophobe- you'd think I would have more human kindness.
    His line "Bloody yanks!" is a mite xenophobic; there's also a reference there to the line from Macbeth where Lady Macbeth complains that her husband “is too full of the milk of human kindness”

    9. I work alone
    Well he does.

    10. They're a good fit.
    Milky's clothes fit well on Necros.

    11. I need a second opinion, that doctor's diagnosis doesn't seem right
    Necros dresses as doctor later in the Blayden sequence, but not before he's told the security man that Milky has the flu. He doesn't you know. He got all murdered.

    12. I’m an old hand at this, as true aficionados would know
    The milkman has been played in this guessing game before by forum member @BondAficionado

    13. Where have I gone? Change the record, mate.
    He is murdered to Necros' favourite record "Where Has Everybody Gone?"

    14. Our recently departed friend Sir Sean would have had the skills to play this role.
    Sir Sean was famously a milkman in his native Edinburgh before becoming a megastar.

    15. I visit the (not so) safest places
    Blayden Safe House is on his milk round. It turns out to not be very safe.

    16. I get to spend time with Max every day.
    The parrot in Blayden's kitchen (where Milky delivers every day) is played by the same actor who played 'Max The Parrot' in For Your Eyes Only. Very talented performer.

    I wasn't even close before the clues of today. 15 and 16 combined with 13 gave it away. Very smart clues, many of them way too smart for me. Good job @mtm.

    I'm not sure if I will have the time to start something new tomorrow. I'll try to come up with a new round by Tuesday evening.

    Oh well done! I got so close! Completely forgot Necros actually first kills the milkman!

    New round:
    Named EON character.

    1. It's not as dark here as the name would imply.
    2. Something will come up.
    3. We've obviously met before...
    4. I'm well dressed. Better than Bond.
    5. Bond's last comment isn't really necessary.
