    Kronsteen?

    Yes, that's it!

    Here are the answers to the clues:

    This was the day when Sir Lancelot desecrated the church.
    Kronsteen's white knight takes McAdams' bishop in the chess game. Sir Lancelot was simply known as "the White Knight" until he discovered his real name after defeating the Copper Knight.

    Plenty of octane is required.
    "Octane" is an anagram of "at once". "You are required at once," was the command issued to Kronsteen during the chess game.

    My lady saved me from disgrace.
    In the chess game, Kronsteen's queen checkmates McAdams and allows Kronsteen to fulfil his duty "at once" to Blofeld.

    I am a checkered pole.
    The character of Kronsteen is a Czech, but Vladek Sheybal, who plays him, is a Pole.

    "The Chair she sat in, like a burnished throne..."
    The opening line from section 2 of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land, entitled "A Game of Chess". A quick Google reveals this... http://genius.com/3097286

    All is black and white to me, there is no gray.
    The black and white of a chess board and pieces. Kronsteen's Blofeld was Anthony Dawson, not Charles Gray.

    Well done @Birdleson. Over to you.

    Darn it, I knew it was a chess reference but couldn't make Kronsteen fit well enough so went for Draco's chess partner. Should have stuck with my first instinct!

    Well done Birdleson :-)

    Same with me, I didn't figure all of the specifics, but it had to be chess related. I once won a round naming the opponent.

    That was my round, as I'm sure you know ;-)

    Thanks @pachazo. Glad to be here. Especially down here in the basement away from the Spectre internecine war going on upstairs.

    I just solved it from the missing R. Does Strutter die? I thought it was ambiguous since he just sinks into the floor.

    I suppose I got rusty during the break. I was lost again on that one. Good job to both of you.

    Off we go!

    1. My quiet evening at home is rather rudely interrupted.

    2. I'm not as polite as I at first appear.

    Nobody has it yet.

    1. My quiet evening at home is rather rudely interrupted.

    2. I'm not as polite as I at first appear.

    3. Tiffany giving me lessons in how to use this would be like her teaching me to suck eggs.

    4. I very nearly witness a famously funny moment.

    It's a welcome return to form for @pachazo as he correctly identifies Goldfinger's Gun-Toting Gatekeeper Grannie

    1. My quiet evening at home is rather rudely interrupted.

    She's disturbed from her kitchen activities by the beep of the car horn (and the ensuing mayhem).

    2. I'm not as polite as I at first appear.

    She courtseys to Bond, but is soon firing at him with a machine gun.

    3. Tiffany giving me lessons in how to use this would be like her teaching me to suck eggs.

    This is one granny who handles a machine gun better than the bimbo in a bikini.

    4. I very nearly witness a famously funny moment.

    The ejector seat moment happens just seconds later.

    It's back to you, Mr P.

    "Here we go again", as C3PO so eloquently put it.
    Who is this Eon character?

    1) For a fee, he was happy to be my backdoor man.
    2) One of these things is not like the others.
    3) This place is a source of discomfort to my backside.
