    Correct, the Cleese ad was packaged with VHS tapes of Licence to Kill, if memory serves. It might also have been shown in theaters before the film.

    This year I'm not in the list, so, sorry for interrupt your great messages but I guess this is the thread to wish all of you in the community a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Bondian 2020:

    Interesting post @Birdleson 74 was my birth year, I had an extensive collection of paper backs and hard backs of Fleming and some early editions, alas in a not great period of my life I disgarded almost all of my Bond collection which was foolish.

    @ggl007 select a free day from the list above and I'll add you. :)

    Happy holidays to you too @Birdleson I enjoyed reading your post - I must say the Mego Planet of the Apes figure would have made my Christmas for sure! And that Dali-esque CS cover is a thing to behold!

    Recognizing there's a lot of great Christmas content already posted across the last few years (had to regroup after validating choices against the previous 21 pages), I hope some of this is new to most of the board.

    So with a Yuletide ethos what follows are a few Bond-influenced tracks, then the spirit of Sir Roger Moore.

    James #Bond #Skyfall #Christmas Remix by Simwork 2016 #Happy New Year
    Orchestral Remix version and HD Video of Adele - Skyfall ,a Bond Theme, based on Consoul Trainin Remix.


    Main theme James Bond Skyfall (Hurry home for Christmas)
    M Productions main theme to James Bond Skyfall (Hurry home for Christmas)


    The San Diego Concert Band: "Secret Agent Santa"
    A lively rendition of different Christmas Carols weaved together in a "James Bond" theme. This was recorded live at The Joan Kroc Theater, in San Diego, California on December 15, 2012. It was conducted by the bands assistant conductor Gunnery Sergeant Victor Ney of the USMC Third Air Wing Band. Sergeant Ney is also an accomplished percussionist in his own right.

    Notably, at the beginning of the piece the chimes were struck at a crucial point, but with the dampener left on, causing an unintended effect. This caused some brief laughter and comedic relief.


    Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy/James Bond - DSQ Electric
    New DSQ Christmas Single. An original composition based on the famous Nutcracker by Tchaikovsky and James Bond.



    More serious moments, wherein Roger Moore draws on his Bond persona to promote the interests of UNICEF.
    UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Sir Roger Moore supports German campaign "Water works"
    2012.


    Poor sound quality opens, the music strikes a familiar chord.
    Roger Moore speaks to Icelanders
    A quick message from the international UNICEF goodwill ambassador to the Icelandic population. Made by Islenska auglýsingastofan.



    And the item that motivated me to contribute here.

    Originally shared by @Fire_and_Ice_Returns in 2017, this is from a 2004 UNICEF promotion. Spurred on by @Agent_99 and a preemptive toast of sorts.

    Nice one @RichardTheBruce Roger is the Bond I’d most like to spend Christmas with - he’d just make the whole day glow with cuddly snuggly warmth! 🎄☺️

    Roger would be the naughty but lovable uncle who gets a bit too merry and tells terrible jokes!

    Remember, Timothy Dalton is for life, not just for Christmas. (Found this on an animal shelter's website and you'll be pleased to know the little chap has been rehomed.)

    Christmas and Bond for many years was an English tradition, as a kid the first thing I would do is see which Bond film was playing on Christmas Day as soon as we purchased the festive TVTimes.
