    Good catch @ClarkDevlin. I hadn't noticed that before. I notice now that they may have taken the same approach with Don Draper as well.

    Exactly, @bondjames. I had Don Draper in mind when I wrote it. It's just wrong. Plain wrong. Just look closely in any sixties film, the neckerchief pockets aren't that high.

    I think things move faster these days, so the modern businessman or spy. Doesn't have
    The same amount of time to get his handkerchief to his nose, hence why it has to be
    Moved closer ! ;)

    One day, with vastly advanced technology and science, in a time when everything has a cure, we won't be needing to wipe our noses at all. ;)

    The 60's base show Heartbeatwhich involves Medical & police mixed together with 2 Aston Martin used the classic DB4 & 69 DBS both were very treated badly on speeding & theft as I remember the episodes. Lucky none of them were destroyed.

    The DB9 was also in F&F 6 well 7. Jason Statham drove I think an Aston Martin again.
    I forgot in F&F 6 The silver Classic Aston Martin DB5 like hope not James Bond car but it look like with no number showing F&F 6 which was in cars show exhibitions. Well as the villain DB9. I watch that movie for the third Fast & Furious 6.

    Regarding the gorgeous DB4 from the Italian Job, I just found this site with an in-depth look at the car. In real life, the car is still driven and making appearances at exhibitions.

    In the film, when the Mob shoves the Aston Martin DB4 down a ravine, what actually went downhill was a Lancia Flaminia GT Touring Convertible, modified to look like the Aston. Here's what that fantastic model looked like:

    There's a lovely Aston Martin DBS in The Persuaders tv series, and it's used by previous Bond Roger Moore as well.

    And here's the scene :



    A classic !

    You also bring Documentary & What I in my post Aston Martins that were in car Mechanic Shows. Yes there was an Aston Martin in Supercars Megabuild. They covert An 2005 Aston Martin V8 Vantage to racing car. Don't know How much it was worth!

    Yell I seen it. He use Another Aston Martin V12 Vantage S to challenge the new Aston Martin DB11 with former STIG & double driver for Bond Ben Collins. He drove a right hand DB6 before driving the new DB11. He mentioned James Bond to all that.
    Now Legendary Motorcars Peter Klutt son Dave I think had a DB2 featured in the show.

    Top Gear France has just featured the DB 11. Le Tone drove it and said that it was a fine car for the road, but not for the race circuit (too heavy). Still, in the hands of "Le Stig", it clocked a respectable 1 min 19 s 06, putting it (for now), at 9th on the scoreboard, just behind the Nissan Nismo GT-R and above the Jaguar F-Type R. And yes, they referenced James Bond. Le Stig even had Adele playing while doing his lap.

    I check with IMCDB. Lethal Weapon TV series first time had a couple of Aston Martins. But uncredited. Yes with new actors with same character roles. Mel Gibson & Danny Glover era didn't had Aston Martin in Sights in the movie Franchise. The cars were Rapide & Vanquish series 2 current model.

    I seen Fate & Furious & yes there was an Aston Martin the current Vanquish but not in used but just uncridited scene. It was in the car shelf. Jason Statham now playing good in a Richard Kiel or Jaws style way drove a Jaguar F-type instead. Good new no Aston martin been destroyed but a lot of cars had been destroyed But I can say what type.

    I've seen the episode. He mention James Bond. Including his other 6 Aston martins including the SPECTRE DB10. He driven also the DB11 had challenge with nice girl who is Canadian Racing driver. He had drove earlier model of the Aston martins, V12 Vantage S & Limo Rapide S. Of course we wouldn't want to do the next Bond theme he is loud. But he good singer.

    You remember Jeremy Clarkson,Richard Hammond & James May from Topgear. Well they come back together in their new TV show The Grand Tour. They had a couple of Aston Martins. The concept Vulcan which Jeremy didn't like very much & the DB11 which he enjoyed driving & had challenge with the Rolls Royce Coupe driven by James May. Richard Hammond drove the Dodge Challenger which so pathetic could driven British Jag or Bentley coupe.
