I can't recall TLJ playing a Bond bad guy. But that, of course, means nothing. Razz

See, I told you that was an easy one. Well done, C=O!

Q2 In From Russia With Love, what British Prime Minister's picture is displayed on Kerim Bay's (head of Station-T Turkey) desk?

by Rich Flair Thu Jun 16, 2011 5:36 pm

I'll have a guess at Harold MacMillan, who would have been PM at the time. But it was probably Churchill.

Rich, you swerved sideways into the answer. It was Winston. So: C=O 1, Rich 1

Goldfinger and Casino Royale (the spoof one)

Scrap Goldfinger and add You Only Live Twice in its place, I think.

by stanmore Sat Jun 18, 2011 5:04 am

You might be right. I'll go for Goldfinger and You Only Live Twice and then we've got all bases covered.

by **Patrick** Sat Jun 18, 2011 9:15 am

Stanmore got it right. Kwouk played an agent of the Chinese government in both movies.

Current scores:

C=O 2 (watch that carbon footprint, oh cyber one.)
Stanmore 2
Rich 1
Zoltar 1

Big Ben to strike the incorrect number of times?
(Exact number escapes me)

I need you to be more specific than that- Blofeld's instructions were that Big Ben was to strike what hour at what time?

by **Johnstone McGuckian** Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:27 am

Time to dig the DVD out then... Razz

Alright, just to move things forward, I'm going to award Johnstone a point for this. In fact, what Blofeld instructed was that Big Ben should sound 7:00 at 6:00 PM.

Current scores:
C=O 2
Stanmore 2
Johnstone 2
Rich 1
Zoltar 1
