    None of those. Another clue added.

    That was fast.

    I think the clues are self explanatory.

    Dang, not even a chance to think about it. You were too fast for me! Nice job.

    Staying within the realms of EON as always, here's a new character for you to decipher:

    1. I'm somewhat overdressed for what is to come.

    2. Perhaps surprisingly, the company that employs me actually existed in real life. I'm not exactly Employee of the Month.

    OK, let's press on...

    1. I'm somewhat overdressed for what is to come.

    2. Perhaps surprisingly, the company that employs me actually existed in real life. I'm not exactly Employee of the Month.

    3. I am played by one person for 38 seconds, and an entirely different person for 76 seconds.

    4. You'll hear me again in two films time, and again two films after that. On every occasion, the scenario is the title of another Bond film.

    Ah well done @Birdleson . I don't think I've ever had a puzzle solved on the first guess before. Explanations thus...

    1. I'm somewhat overdressed for what is to come.

    A suit when he's planning a skydive seems a little odd.

    2. Perhaps surprisingly, the company that employs me actually existed in real life. I'm not exactly Employee of the Month.

    Apollo Airways was genuine. More on this in a separate link below.

    3. I am played by one person for 38 seconds, and an entirely different person for 76 seconds.

    French actor Jean-Pierre Castaldi (a caricaturist's dream!) inside the plane, stuntman B J Worth outside it.

    4. You'll hear me again in two films time, and again two films after that. On every occasion, the scenario is the title of another Bond film.

    His scream is identical to that of Gobinda and Necros, when all three characters go for a 'sky fall'.

    There's a lovely article on Apollo Airways history and usage in Moonraker here, including comments below from employees at the time. Well worth a read:

    Great clues and well done solving it. Have to check in more often as the rounds are going at light speed lately!

    Deke Rogers from LALD seems to fit nicely.

    Nice one. I've thought of playing him at some point. Couldn't put my finger on it until the last clue. I'll get to work on preparing the next one. See you soon.

    One of those rare times when I had to look up who the character was. Wouldn't have got there in a long time! Nice choice.

    Me too. Had never heard or recalled the name before.

    New year, new round for us @pachazo ?

    Yes! Sorry for the hiatus. I was out of town. Not making excuses mind you, but I hope all of you had as pleasant of a time as I did during the New Year festivities. Anyway... working on it now and will have it up very soon!

    Let's kick off the new year with another Eon character, shall we?

    1) We don't know what the audience knows.
    2) My job title can be both heard and seen (and in that order).
    3) It seems like we could cut out the middleman here. Or should I say woman?
    4) Someone put in a request to see me.
    5) I end up in the same place that I started, albeit in a different position.
    6) There is no doubt of our location.
    7) It's important to me to get all the information.
    8) I have a bit of a Mr. Rogers vibe going on.
    9) We would be horrified to learn the truth.
    10) Maps abound!
