“My name’s Bond ..”
As a teenager in the 1960s, I read all 14 of the James Bond novels and saw every one of the 007 movies as they were issued. When I became a father, I always took my son Richard to see the latest Bond film and today the two of us when to see a special exhibition at London’s Imperial War Museum entitled “For Your Eyes Only: Ian Fleming and James Bond”.
This exhibition is both informative (I didn’t know that in the books Bond bedded ‘only’ 14 women) and entertaining (there are some fun touch screen devices). The exhibits range from the Bell Textron Jet Pack from the film “Thunderball” to Halle Berry’s orange bikini from the movie “Die Another Day”. You can take a spin round the highlights here.
