    I will have another go...only Blofeld (deli edition) is un-named in the movie. We assume it's Blofeld but he's never mentioned by name.

    Is the answer Hans? Blofelds bodyguard in YOLT.
    All the other actors have appeared in the tv show, The Avengers?

    Great, @Benny ! That's the answer. In fact they were even all in the fourth production block (first half of the Emma Peel era, still in black & white). Your turn!

    Thanks very much. I could also make a lot of connections to The Saint with Roger Moore, and Doctor Who.

    Okay, what connects The Spy Who Loved Me and Goldeneye?
    It has something to do with the people in front of the camera.

    Good guess @Max_The_Parrot but not what I’m looking for.
    Look to the clues again.

    Stromberg and Ourumov are played by german actors? It doesn't fit that well with your clues...

    Let's see if this helps.

    Okay, what connects The Spy Who Loved Me and Goldeneye?
    It has something to do with actors in both films.

    1. It has something to do with the people in front of the camera.
    2. Bad boy's the both of us.
    3. From Russia With Love?
    4. We'd like to be good if we could.
    5. 'My name is...'
    6. Testing, testing.
    7. And cut!
    8. I could've been someone. I was a contender.
    9. We both appeared in popular TV shows.

    Is it Michael Billington and Sean Bean both playing Russian agents who were also screen tested for Bond?
  • BennyBenny Shaken not stirredAdministrator, Moderator

    And we have a winner!
    Correct @Thunderfinger both Michael Billington and Sean Bean tested for the Bond role. But ended up playing villainous roles instead.
    As far as I’m aware, the only actors who tested for Bond, who also appeared in a Bond film.
    Either way. Over to you @Thunderfinger

    All right, thanks.

    Bond going to Scotland and meeting the old caretaker of his family estate in SF, is based on a draft for the prequel Maibaum and Wilson had planned as Bond 15. There he also goes to Scotland, but it isn t the caretaker he meets there. Anyone who knows who he meets ?

    His aunt?

    No, not his aunt, but it s getting warmer.

    Well done @Thunderfinger wouldn’t have got that. However I remember the prequel script from reading Helfenstein’s The Making of The Living Daylights. I had to double check but it’s his grandfather. However if I was Maibaum I would have gone with @goldenswissroyale’s suggestion of Aunt Charmian.

    This means that you will be the quizmaster in three different threads this weekend. Not bad for a bird...not bad at all.

    Yes, correct. Over to you, @Max_The_Parrot . Wasn t it both his grandparents?

    Agree that it should have been his aunt instead.

    Thanks @Thunderfinger and @goldenswissroyale - just had a quick scan through again and can only find mention of grandfather but I could be missing it. Must read the whole thing again soon, really enjoyed it. For anyone that’s not read the book well worth picking up if you’re a fan of the film.

    Which actor or actress claims their training in Haitian Karate helped them get the role in a Bond film?

    I'm pretty sure that I've read this somewhere in a book. ...Trina Parks as Thumper?

    Yes it is indeed the wonderful Trina - watching Bambi and Thumper is always the highlight of DAF for me! Well done @goldenswissroyale the chair is yours!
