    Oh, and I love the cyclist who casually pedals through the middle of the fight.

    One of the great 'stunts' of the franchise... and it was totally unintended/random!

    Ok, so this is the REAL Faberge egg that Q puts a listening device into...?

    Smithers - Jeremy Bullochs second appearance, and first of two as Smithers.

    Vijay would laterappear in Trek IV. No idea why!
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

    Q's initial complaint about "no proper facilities" briefly ties in with Algernon's moaning in NSNA... though the complaint is to do with deployment abroad rather than budget cuts.

    It's odd that they used the 'poison pen letters' line some 16 years after Casino Royale '67 had made fun of that very joke.

    Barbel - real Egg. Bond has had it since Sotheby’s.

    The woman in Q's workshop who's the butt of Moore's 'adolescent antics' takes it all in good part. This isn't one for #me too.

    Kamal is like Magda's pimp, waiting for her in that Rolls and acknowledging Bond.
