Just out of interest, GM, why is the issue of photos so important? I'm sure some will pop up online.
Mind you, no book to accompany the exhibition that I know of...
There is an exhibition catalogue @ £30 but this was not available at the Media View.
By the way I can recommend the Designing Bond exhibition at The Barbican centre in London. I spent 2 1/2 hours in there.
it costs £12 for adults, but I had to restrain my spending-but they do have 3 chinese made Bond car models
DB5, white Lotus and modern DBS at £18 each with 3 sound effects,
1. car engine noise and revolving wheels. 2. The james bond music theme. 3. a toot toot! air horn sound.
I only bought the DBS as 3 would've cost £54. They also had JB Paper Clips at £6.50. One clip is 00 and the other is the gun shape to make the 7 in 007.
The dozens of original models and props and tuxedos and ladies evening dresses is amazing!
You can't think of anything they've left out. You also get 10 second film loops of the Bond film scene projected on the walls above. 3 films at a time. You've also got a recreation of the CR Poker game table with blank dummies of the actors with their costumes on, and the half million and million Poker "tablet" chips.
First you have to find the entrance! From the Barbican tube station you cross the road and walk half a mile through a road tunnel then turn right into Silk Street to find the entrance. Postcode is EC2Y 8DS.
It's on until 5th September. I went on a Wed. afternoon-so not too crowded.
Just sat waiting for a connecting train home from this.
I met up with pete at kings X and we cabbed to the barb. Once there we met donk, which was cool as I hadn't met him before. I reckons I look miserable...
Eventually Markus and his wife turned up. One of the coolest laid back funny fans I've met, really glad I got chance to meet him.
On entry to the exhibition you get into the gold room as I'd call it. A circular bed rotates slowly with a golden dummy on it, all GF style. Some storyboards and costumes adorn the walls, with a few set dressing pieces.
Next is a section for the book fans, 1st editions are on the wall and a typewriter which doesn't look like fleming's famous gold one hides in the corner.
Through into Q branch. A corridor of wooden crates features props and gadgets from many films. There's a nice selection of stuff, but don't forget to look up. There's more hidden on top of the crates, including some goldeneye arkangel mines, look familiar... Other stuff includes bombs, a few guns, the hasselblad looks crap! ATAK looked good...
Next the casino room, loads of costumes and the OP egg hiding in a corner. The CR poker game is set up in costumes, and a few projectors show film clips off. Some costume jewellery features in the opposite corner to the entrance.
Leaving this room you go through a moonraker bit, lots of ken Adams originals on the wall.
Out one hall, past some CR models of the sinking house, then into another hall which features several props and more costumes. Some nice items, gustavs suit of armour from DAD, the DAF piton gun to name a couple.
After this room it's downstairs to the ice palace. All things ice here, a skidoo from DAD and ski outfits, yeah more costumes. A large model if the DAD ice palace sits in the centre of the room. After that it's back upstairs to the shop, usual tat and the pricy T&A ties and Algerian loveknot necklace, nothing price wise in between spare a few books.
After that, a trip to bond street, watches, Leicester square, grub, 2 mile walk across town to kings X then home.
A fun day on the whole.
The exhibition though, I felt, was a bit cramped. The props could and should have dominated it, and what I saw I had seen before tbh. The one thing that stuck out was the costumes. Way way way too many of them, and storyboards seemed to be used as filler to fill the large gaps.
It would have been nice to see more models and miniatures, props and gadgets and vehicles. If costumes are your thing you'll love it though.
Oh and don't climb on the stands, the goons don't like that. Do they Markus?

Good to meet you too Mini-J, although I think Medium-J is perhaps more accurate IMO. Yes and for those not personally aquainted with the gent in question, Bondtoys & his lovely wife are a blast in the flesh. No Lexi regrettably so I shaved & polished my head for nothing, made myself & Danjaq look like identical twins...Bugger!
Regrettably the groups antics were captured on CCTV & I'm the only one they could put a name to so I'll have a nice padded cell facing out across the Thames...Squeal Little Piggy...Gimp Gimp Gimp! Next time Lexi?
Twins, but Im the good looking one I didn't know Lexi was turning up, maybe she was hiding ) she don't know what she missed with Donk and Horse in the same building at the same time

Not what I was told by someone with close ties to it.
Besides, when it's called 'Designing 007 - Fifty Years of 007 Style' it's a bit confusing as to what it is trying to be about. Designing is a very open term as everything around you man made has been designed by someone. But then would you class 'style' as something when it comes to the appearance of bond's gadgets? They're not really designed in a set style'.
I think what EoN should have done is drop the 'style' from the title and had an equal balance of all aspects of designing the bond films. The areas should IMO been dedicated to separate items, like the origins of bond, storyboards, set dressing pieces, gadgets, weapons, sets, vehicles and costumes.
There was nothing with regards sets, how cool it would have been to be able to walk through M's office, or Q branch and see gadgets on workbenches.
It's all a bit of a wasted opportunity in my mind, kinda thrown together at the last moment and things just scattered all over.
I just thought the DAD was a wasted chance to celebrate a milestone, and now this exhibition is perhaps along the same lines?
Maybe I'm being too harsh? It was a nice exhibition and I'm glad I saw it, and no doubt as it goes around the world more things will be shown, like some skyfall stuff maybe.
I'd still say go and see it while it's there, and buy the book afterwards cos that's very good.
I think it was well laid out, with the individual themes Q Branch being my favourite, there were also a few gems scattered through out displayed with the costumes I totally enjoyed it -{

They hired 2 guest curators, Bronwyn Cosgrave and Lindy Hemming, both fashion people. They wanted things other than clothes, but they hired clothing experts to do the exhibition. Lindy's original idea was to do an exhibition of Bond women's costume.
"Bond Style" in the title can easily apply to set design and prop design as well as costume design. Not in the same way, but I have no problem with it. I don't see any missed opportunities because the exhibition did what it intended to do.

Well I am pleased to report I have been to see the Exhibition as well - and I absolutely loved it!
I can see your point Mini G, plus as someone who worked on DAD, you will have seen the full scope of production elements, so its completely understandable that it was unbalanced for you. I agree the costuming and related elements are the largest aspect of the show, with a smaller portion of prop displays and production artwork, with a little peppering of miniatures and foam-core set design mock ups bringing up the rear. The Catalogue does reflect this too.
However, for me personally it was amazing. I have been to a couple of vehicle exhibitions in the past (such as the now closed one in Cumbria) and sci fi exhibitions such as the Edinburgh one in the 90s for Star Trek. Although they were very good, the vehicles and equipment from those events were not given anything to reflect the essence of the characters or flavour of the films / series they came from.
To me the Barbican displays corrected this gap, because I could imagine I was standing on set with the likes of Gert Frobe, Eunice Gayson, Adolfo Celi, Diana Rigg, Jill St John and (from more recent films) Sophie Marceau, Robbie Coltrane, Mads Mikkelsen and the lovely Eva Green. - Not to mention the Bond actors themselves. I'd agree the M and Q sections seem very small compared to the other areas, and yes, full scale set pieces like M's office, Q's lab and or the Casino Royale gaming room would be amazing to witness - but probably impractical on several levels for the Barbican to cater to.
Perhaps its the fact I also got up close and personal with a few pieces that stuck in my mind when I saw the films first time around. - M's portrait (Bernard Lee) looking exactly as it did in Castle Thane in TWINE, I am not ashamed to say I had tears of joy in my eyes to see the original fiberglass miniatures of the Lotus that Derek Meddings made for TSWLE. I know my jaw hit the deck to be staring at the ATAK prop from FYEO still in excellent condition, and later I shuddered and then laughed at myself when I saw Solitare's fortune telling display with the cards and Tee Hee's arm from LALD - a film that scared the crap out of me with all the Voodoo stuff as a boy.
I can only judge for myself, but I got a lot more than an up close and personal look at the creative effort and detail of the hard work that goes into these films, films that I have loved since I was a kid. For a couple of intensely happy hours, by exploring that work by many talented people over the last fifty years, I had the chance to rekindle cherished memories of family long gone, and to allow myself to believe I was living in a part of Bond's world, on both sides of the camera! That's an experience that can't be compared with anything else.
Who knows? If the Exhibition proves popular enough, maybe it will lead to even bigger things? :007)
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
back after a wonderful weekend in London.
Thanks for the kind words - now that Pete changed sides and teamed up with my wife :v I need every friend that I can get - so I'll not be picky
Thanks for coming over Donk. I know, that Pete and me have been embarassing you more than once by not behaving along the exhibition rules.
Singe: I can now officially confirm, that you are taller than a cat
Not familiar with british traditions, I don't know exactly what it means, when someone brings a tombstone for the first date *
Glad that you enjoyed the time, but you have missed the best part: Pete getting overloaded by the chinese food.
And btw. these 9 black watches, that we've seen at the watch store: They are only sold as a set and are running for 5.4 million pounds. Sterling! Maybe you should make watches
Regarding the exhibition:
Besides of the overload of clothing there are many nice set sketches by Sir Ken Adam and others and the quantity of non-costume props is still stunning.
The broad variety of props that MR gives us is still amazing and I know, that MG also enjoyed them :v
* It's done marvelous, very well done, mate and thanks again!

Nice review & very glad certain aspects brought back happy memories for you. The exhibition is going on a 3 year world tour when it ends its run in London in September with Canada being the next stop. Different venues will perhaps be able to accommodate different Archive Inventory so there could be variations including inclusion of Skyfall inventory....enough said! :007)
Just out of curiosity donk, will it return to London after the 3 year tour for one last showing?
If new or different stuff, especially SF items would be included then I'd be interested in going again.
I've just spoken to the Exhibition curator. The next stop in October will be at the TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX in Toronto, Canada. The exhibition is expected to take in Asia and America but as yet no firm schedule is available or is being announced?
