I know its probably risky doing this but im sure all of you as well as I would love to see this short video.
So this is simply a pleed hopefully if enough people show interest Ed might be more encouraged to covert and upload it!
Its a real icon of a character if not the reason why bond gadgets/props are here. (And this very section in the forum)
Also to honor him as this is an unseen video that should be shown, not kept hidden away...

For those that don't know what DG is talking about...
Steve (SD Studios) hired Desmond to appear in a 60 second commercial advertising his Bond replica props. We flew Desmond over and spent the entire day filming this short commercial.
Luckily, a friend filmed everything so there's about 30 minutes worth of "Behind the Scenes" making of the commercial. It shows Desmond & Amanda Schofield (his assistant) arriving and all of us (like little children fawning all over him the rest of day...I mean C'mon...it WAS Q!!!)
It contains his rehersals, makeup session, telling us stories between takes, etc.
And YES!!! I was in it as a technician aiming a laser-powered submachine gun that he pushes aside as he walks in front of me saying "DO YOU MIND!!!"
I may have a frame enlargemeny or two I'll try to find and post.

If memory serves, didn't Amanda work for Eon?
Amanda indeed worked at Eon. We spent most of the day when the filming took place and later at a resteraunt after filming had concluded. I ran into her again when we visited Michael Wilson at Eon and were allowed into the archives and again at the bar the night before the Goldeneye premier
It was VERY sad to later hear of her passing. For the little time I was lucky enough to have gotten to know her she had made quite the impression on me and she is definetly missed by those that knew her.
Yes, the commercial did air but only at a local station. I don't think more than a few handful have ever sen this.
