    I got hung up on trying to find someone who was 66 years old. If it's right, the glasses clue made me think of him and then a lot of the others fell in place.

    Me too, but couldn't find anyone.

    I had a great time with this round despite the absence of numerous guesses.
    @pachazo is the winner. Congratulations. It was indeed:

    Denis Thatcher (FYEO)

    1. I don't live very healthy.
    Cigar and glass of wine in his left hand.
    2. I'm even hindered in living more healthy!
    He wants to eat some fruits and his wife/Prime minister is slapping his hand.
    3. I will see you later, Mr. Bond.
    Margaret says that she and Denis are looking forward to meet Bond.
    4. My name is said twice but noone is talking to me.
    Margaret says "Denis" twice.
    5. Udo Jürgens likes my age.
    The german singer had a song called "Mit 66 Jahren fängt das Leben an", life begins at the age of 66... Denis was 66 years old: Born in 1915 (same year as Cubby!) + 66 = 1981.
    6. I'm not the boss, obviously.
    Husband of Prime Minister.
    7. The emergency exit makes sense now for the other ones.
    Tanner, Sir Frederick Gray and Q are embarassed after the call between Thatcher and Max. We can read "EMERGENCY EXIT" behind them.
    8. Should I be jealous?
    Max (Bond) wants a kiss from her.
    9. A repetitive chat happens while I'm only standing around.
    Max repeats himself: "Bond, Bond", "Give us a kiss, give us a kiss"...
    10. My children aren't shown.
    Denis and Margaret had two kids (in real life).
    11. Irma Bunt talked about my prospective title.
    "Ladies, Sir Hilary Bray, Baronet". He was granted the baronetcy in 1990.
    12. The actor playing this character was already seen in an earlier Bond movie.
    John Wells was in CR'67.
    13. Sugar is part of the scene.
    We can read SUGAR on the left side of the screen when Denis is seen.
    14. I'm wearing glasses.
    Indeed.
    15. I share my number with Fiona Volpe
    SPECTRE number 10 and 10 Downing Street.

    @goldenswissroyale
    These were great clues and an excellent round.
    But if I'm not mistaken, Spectre #10 (French guy) is present at the meeting in the beginning of TB.
    Fiona is a Spectre agent/assassin but it is never mentioned if she's a 'numbered' operative.

    Thanks @R1s1ngs0n. My mistake, sorry. I found this info on jamesbond.fandom.com but it obviously doesn't make much sense. There can't be two number 10s at the same time.

    Loved the clues, @goldenswissroyale. You always do a great job. I can only speak for myself but my lack of guessing was due to trying to find someone who fit the "66" clue. However, that strategy has burned me in the past. Sometimes you have to just guess.

    Okay, look I hate to do this because I don't want another long break in the game, but we are vacationing in Hawaii and it would be difficult for me to host the next round. I guess I shouldn't have solved it but I couldn't resist! So please, anyone is welcome to take it over. Just go for it!
  • I as well was trying to think of someone who's 66, great clues @goldenswissroyale!

    Sorry to delete the last two posts @Quantum_of_Tomorrow and @Thunderfinger , but repeating that list so many times was taking up so much unnecessary space.
    Just spoiler tag the list.

    Isn t it the same if it is hidden within a previous quote tag as a spoiler tag?

    Thanks. It is some sort of plant, I believe.

    Well, we're back now. Give me a little bit to catch up with my jet lag and I'll start the new round later today.

    @pachazo We are honoured that you shortened your holidays and already returned from Hawaii for the preparation of a new guess the character round.

    Yes, that's exactly how it happened. We left early so I could start the new round! We have family in Oahu so that is where we stayed. We look forward to exploring the other islands someday. Let's get started, shall we?

    EON Character :

    1) You hear my name before you see me. I am seen for a brief moment before my name is called.
    2) In fact, that audible cue was all I needed to provide the proper equipment.
    3) Safety is our number one priority.
    4) The future's so bright.
    5) I seem to be monitoring the departures while my partner is in charge of arrivals.
    6) Had we done our due diligence, the main villain might have gotten away with it.
    7) My partner does all the talking.
    8) You must follow the rules if you want to make it around here.
    9) Women's rights are on full display.
    10) Where's the usual man?

    11) We are not in California.
    12) Sign, sign, everywhere a sign (apparently).
    13) Bond's last hurrah.


    Incorrect :
    Holly Goodhead
    Jerry (DAF)
    Mr. Kidd
    Pat Fearing
    Pindar's Communications Assistant
    Sister Rose

    I'm fearing that is not the correct answer.

    It's not her. I also discovered that I messed up the very first clue! It's been amended and take a look at the new offerings as well.

    I must admit that I'm not sure who that is, but it's not the correct answer.

    Sister Rose from DN? The one who doesn't speak while Lily waffles on incessantly with the voice of small child and quite frankly needs a good slap ;)

    He's the guy working with Felix at the airport.

    Oh, that's right! You gave me pause.

    And it's not Sister Rose either.
