Well done Barbel! Bravo! {[]
I'm rather glad that you tackled this, my favorite Bond film. Sadly, to many people around here "C" stands for "Clown (suit)" and "T" stands for "Tarzan (yell)."
There's a lot to love in this one. I just knew that you would do the film justice.
Next up is AVTAK, and as already stated, it's only appropriate that JFF take on this task.
"My acting range? Left eyebrow raised, right eyebrow raised..."

Thanks Tee Hee, I had fun doing that one, it's one of my faves too. Yup, dear old (young) AlisonDoodyFollower should do AVTAK alright so I suggest that meantime we fill in the blanks with NSNA and maybe CR67. If he hasn't appeared by then, we could do CR54 ) !
A- A-ha! 3 ping-pong balls, according to John Barry
B- Brown, Robert: his best show as M
C- Chrissie Hynde, who sings 2 songs
D- Dalton: great debut
E- Europe, Central: well-used and atmospheric

J- Jeroen Krabbe, who plays
K- Koskov, the villain
L- Lady Rose, the cello soaped by
M- Maryam d’Abo, leading lady
N- Necros- where has everybody gone?
O- Opium, part of the complicated scheme
P- Pushkin, “killed” by 007
Q- Quarter-centenary: TLD marked 25 years of 007 movies
R- Remington Steele: we all know that story
S- Saunders: initially unsympathetic, later an ally
T- Tangier: later location
U- Unpicked: Sam Neill Unlucky: Pierce Brosnan Unbelievable: Christopher Reeve
V- Vienna: beautifully presented
W- Whitaker, ineffectual baddie who meets his Waterloo
X- XV: this is Bond 15
Y- Yacht: “It’s all so boring here, Margo… if only I could find a REAL man”
Z- Zimmerstrasse: the border 272 has to cross in the short story
Seeing as JFF hasn't posted in a while, I might attempt AVTAK, but I'm not so good at these types of things.

Z - Zorin
Hey, nice work Jarvio. I think the specs were polarised rather than X-ray but that's just splitting hairs (mais n'enculons pas des mouches, to cite our founder). Why not have a bash at the NSNA blanks above?

Thanks, Hilly- nice to know someone is reading this! I've been leaving a few days between films to let someone else have a go. If no-one covers DAD I suppose I'll do it in maybe four days time... unless Son Of has a bash.

Well done Barbel! Bravo! {[]
I'm rather glad that you tackled this, my favorite Bond film. Sadly, to many people around here "C" stands for "Clown (suit)" and "T" stands for "Tarzan (yell)."
There's a lot to love in this one. I just knew that you would do the film justice.
Next up is AVTAK, and as already stated, it's only appropriate that JFF take on this task.
-Roger Moore
Thanks Tee Hee, I had fun doing that one, it's one of my faves too. Yup, dear old (young) AlisonDoodyFollower should do AVTAK alright so I suggest that meantime we fill in the blanks with NSNA and maybe CR67. If he hasn't appeared by then, we could do CR54

A- Arnold’s music effectively underlines the PTS in
B- Bilbao, where 007 meets the
C- Cigar Girl he later chases to the Millenium
D- Dome. Unknown to him she works for
E- Elektra King, who has murdered her
F- Father, Robert. Bond first sees Elektra at the funeral held near
G- Glasgow, and soon they’re jumping from a
H- Helicopter into snow and
I- Ice. Elektra is well known to M, played by Dame
J- Judi Dench, who studied with Robert
K- King. Bond falls in
L- Love with Elektra, the beautiful Sophie
M- Marceau- his protectiveness is clear at the Casino L’Or
N- Noir scene. The whole plot revolves around
O- Oil and the King
P- Pipeline, while this film says goodbye to good old
Q- Q who is retiring to be replaced by
R- R, played by John Cleese- Bond feels he’s “well
S- Suited for the job”. Moneypenny, Robinson and
T- Tanner all appear too. Elektra’s security man Davidov, who is partly
U- Ukranian, is in league with
V- Victor Zokas aka Renard, created by Neal Purvis & Robert
W- Wade as was
X- Xmas ;% Jones, world’s least convincing and
Y- Youngest nuclear physicist- still, at least she impresses
Z- Zukovsky.
Well done! -{
Thanks, Hilly- nice to know someone is reading this! I've been leaving a few days between films to let someone else have a go. If no-one covers DAD I suppose I'll do it in maybe four days time... unless Son Of has a bash.
Fair enough! Anyone want to have a bash at DAD? (Note that I didn't say "Anyone want to bash DAD?"
A- Alvarez- the DNA-dabbling doctor
B- Blades- swords beat bridge on screen, though not on paper
C- Cigar- the only time Brosnan is seen to smoke as Bond- probably one of the
D- Delectados- they’re slow-burning, just like the sleeper agent played by
E- Emilio Echevarria.
F- Frost, Miranda- female villain
G- Gustav Graves- feeble villain
H- Hong Kong- Bond’s not wanting to take it back
I- Ice Palace in Iceland

M- Moon- General father and, er, Colonel sun
