    A behind the scenes/preview of the Bond Cars Top Gear Special from producer Andy Wilman. The article includes comment from Guy Hamilton, interesting information on some of the cars. And also features "unsung heroes" like Roger Becker, the Lotus employee who delivered the Lotus Esprit to the set of The Spy Who Loved Me.

    My wife hates Top Gear and simply loathes J Clarkson, ( yet he's a role model to me :D )
    Luckily she's letting me watch this one. Or Rather I've shown my Might ALPHA-maleness
    by telling her I'm watchin it.
    ( she dosent read any of my Posts so I'll probably get away with that ) :))

    It's a bit of a clip show, and only Richard Hammond presents, looking strangely rakish and Simon Templer-ish,. Their modified Lotus is introduced half way through then held off til the finale for its dip. Roger Moore, ever congenial, does an interview and shock - Guy Hamilton too, I thought he'd died years ago! Why didn't they get him to direct the last few Bonds!

    I am definatly getting the DVD of this, since I missed the orginal broadcast on BBC America. Top Gear and James Bond two my favorite things in the world.

    The thing I didn't like is how they bash Brosnan's movies for switching to BMW first off and second bash them for the cars not being in good chase scenes. They make NO mention of what the chase scenes in those movies were though. GoldenEye's chase was in the tank, on of my favorite chase scenes. Tomorrow Never Dies had two, one in the parking garage and one through Saigon. World's chase was in boats and one skis. All very good scenes.
