I enjoyed a wide-ranging conversation with Sky News about intellectual property, trademarks, continuation novels as a way of extending an author’s legacy and, of course, Bond. I’m glad they were able to include some of that discussion in this article. news.sky.com/story/an-eni...

Have you had your office Christmas party yet?! Ilse Steppat and George Lazenby pictured waiting in what looks to be Bond’s room at Piz Gloria, in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. #bond #jamesbond #georgelazenby #ohmss #colourised

Thundeball Anniversary TRIBUTE Part 2 : So many Bond women in T-ball, this post celebrates Molly Peters, the beautiful British star, who played Nurse Patricia Fearing opposite Sean Connery. She was famously the first Bond girl to take her clothes off on screen in the 1965 film. #jamesbond

Commander James Bond CMG RNVR, has only made 3 appearances in uniform in the last 63 (almost 64) years! Would you like to see him back? I wouldn’t mind a brief appearance like before. #bond #jamesbond #seanconnery #yolt #colourised

Sean Connery and Roger Moore. That’s the post. #bond #jamesbond #seanconnery #rogermoore #colourised

John Richardson was a contender for Bond pre OHMSS and photos were taken in the auditions. It looks like the scene where Tracy has him at gunpoint…or could it be a version of golf from Dr No? What do you think? #bond #jamesbond #ohmss #onhermajestyssecretservice #colourised

Maryam d'Abo and Timothy Dalton opt for the roller coaster before the ferris wheel. Good idea, get the shock out of the way! #bond #jamesbond #maryamdabo #timothydalton #TheLivingDaylights #colourised

That time of year again, when we dress up in our finery and go to a seasonal celebration! Like Pierce Brosnan and Sophie Marceau here having an epic night at Le Casino L'Or Noir. #bond #jamesbond #piercebrosnan #sophiemarceau #theworldisnotenough #colourised

I don’t know if this is reminiscent of For Your Eyes Only or was part inspiration for its poster, but this is a promo pic from OHMSS with George Lazenby centre stage. #bond #jamesbond #ohmss #georgelazenby

Adolfo Celi and Claudine Auger arrive at the Thunderball premiere on December 29, 1965. Did you know that the premiere was held at two West End venues? The London Pavilion and the Rialto cinema. This pic was taken at the London Pavilion. #bond #jamesbond #Thunderball #colourised

A bit of downtime for George Lazenby just before his debut of OHMSS. I think this was a promotional pic, but someone wiser may have more info! #bond #jamesbond #georgelazenby #onhermajestyssecretservice #colourised

Let’s take an imaginary flight over Pinewood Studios around 1966/67 timeline. Looks like something big is being built. Almost volcanic in size and a great place to store some rockets! #bond #jamesbond #youonlylivetwice #colourised

While most are out of print in physical form, they all exist as e-books, some with prices as low as $1.99. tinyurl.com/2dr4ewj3

Hugo Drax,billionaire industrialist, bridge player and someone who knows a lot of countesses. Brilliantly portrayed by Michael Lonsdale. What’s your fav Drax line? #bond #jamesbond #Moonraker #michaellonsdale

To paraphrase a line from OHMSS - “Britain's last line of defense.” #bond #jamesbond #georgelazenby #onhermajestyssecretservice #colourised

Bringing back this one from ‘A View to a Kill’ to mark Sir Roger’s birthday on 14 Oct 1927. I have a feeling 2027 will be a full on Roger anniversary with The Spy Who Loved Me Turing 50 and 100 years since his birth! #rogermoore #jamesbond #colourised

It’s a divisive film among Bond fans but one thing we can all agree on is that John Barry’s score for #Thunderball is a belter. Join @bondincolour.bsky.social and I as we enjoy cocktails at the Kiss Kiss Club and soak up the delights of the Junkanoo! open.acast.com/public/strea...

No better way to spend the end of the weekend listening to a soundtrack often passed by, but does so much heavy lifting for 60s Bond. Many thanks @thescoresnotenough.bsky.social for a fun chat!

Imagine waking past the London Pavillion 63 years ago, seeing the crowds, the lights and not quite realising what was about to take over the world. Happy James Bond Day! #bond #jamesbond
