AJB live commentary on AVTAK

Barbel

This was originally supposed to be Anya from TSWLM, but Barbara Bach didn't want to do it.

Thunderbird 2

Does the Japanese hot house feel a bit ‘we are trying to channel YOLT’ to a degree?

Shady Tree

The KGB guy's death is quite disturbing. But it succeeds in making look Zorin look really nasty/dangerous.

Barbel

The lovely Fiona Fullerton :x

later on, with the comedy cop and the cop cars chasing the fire truck, it seems to call back to similar cop car scenes from the Hamilton/Manckiewicz Bonds of the early 70s.

Yes, once again we agree! {[]

The fire engine chase is good, but the comedy cops doesn't work.

Was she already together with Ringo and didn‘t need the cash?

She doesn't seem too upset about the horrible death of her comrade.

One of the better Russian accents performed by a 'Russian Bond girl'. Up there with Famke.

The plinky music on the cassette borders, slightly, on playing the FRWL theme in places

Barbel

MGW cameo- voice only.

I did once, but Rennes solves the problem.

She got by with a little help from her friends

She does mostly theatre now and doesn't rate her appearance in Bond highly.

Wine with Stacey!

A house with no furniture. (shudders) Bad memories....

I feel sorry for Tanya Roberts, she has presence. But her character is written as a cabbage!

The chain thug has an awful wig! Should have kept him bald.

Higgins

Where is Garbel?

Still not yet! You're impatient tonight, Higgins

Number24

Is this the only time Bond uses a shotgun? I think so.

You noticed!

Another 'stately home' style location. This movie often has a plush and posh, almost Merchant Ivory vibe...

Shady Tree

A thumping good Barry action cue

Thunderbird 2

Bloddy Hell...... I only just twigged that Stacey’s cat is a fluffy Persian!

Number24

Paternal Bond ….

Barbel

Music “Wine With Stacey” The B side of the Duran Duran single under the name “That Fatal Kiss”

Yeah, but this one is a bit everything and nothing. Maybe I’m being unfair...

Another machine that goes “ping!” Almost a drinking game.

Barbel

And Higgins- the flautist's name was Susan Milan.

Number24

Stacy in short nightgown. GIF request!

Higgins

Here Moore looks ok

Shady Tree

Stacey is likeable. And Bond's paternal and platonic attitude with her is quite endearing (some obligatory innuendo and the final shower scene aside).
