Fantastic find, GGL007 :007)
But looking at all these phots, choosing the best and posting them here is alot of work. Feel free to do some of it.
A tip: I try to post only behind the scenes and not promotional photos or photos that show pretty much what you see on screen.
I like these two photos of Dalton reading Hemingway, and I'm pretty sure it's at the Hemingway house during the filming of LTK.
"the old man and the sea" is a great book. I remember I walked down to my grandfather's house as soon as I finished reading it, sat down in the kitchen with him and retold the story. My grandfather barely read a novel in his life, but used to row out and harpoon giant blue-fin tunas for many years. I think he found the story relatable.

@Number 24: Correct, Timothy Dalton was on a break from filming at The Hemingway House during the production of LTK when the picture you shared was taken. I recall seeing it in either one of the books I own about the series as a whole or possibly an issue of 007 magazine.
Cubby and Dana Broccoli, daughter Barbara and long time boyfriend of 8 years, Michael Billington, who BB tried so hard to get cast as Bond but Roger kept signing on for ‘just one more’.
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
Michael Billington certainly had the chops to play Bond. Would have been interesting. Would have been a bit like Lazenby I imagine, harder edged than Moore, similar to how Lewis Collins may have played the role.
No idea of his relationship with Dana. It's interesting but in doing a bit of research on Billingham he does check many of the Bond boxes. Tall, handsome, looked to be very fit and athletic and unlike Lazenby, he was actually a real actor. Haven't seen him in anything so that's just skimming the surface and leaves out the important stuff like screen presence and charisma.

Apologies if these have been posted before - I’m not going to go through 11 pages checking 😁
A deleted scene in which Scaramanga challenges Bond to a Milk-Gargling Cont... ok, it was for the Milk Marketing Board. 😎
Great pics. Nice shot of the rare Tissot PR-516 on Roger's wrist, in this one;
👍️
Thats a great last photo…but it does look like Sean has had a few drinks with all those empty glasses 🤣
I love that Roger is off duty in the last one and is of course wearing a safari suit.
Certainly hadn’t seen a couple of those before, thanks 🙂

I didn't know they were together, that's interesting, thank you.
This was new to me too.

He was very good in UFO.

This has probably been posted before, but it does prove that TB had the best girls, and it doesn’t even include Molly Peters.
