    In one of his books, he mentions Grace Jones and says (I'm paraphrasing) that he was brought up to believe that if you can't say anything nice about a person then you should say nothing at all. So he does.

    Yep, the sex toy story and I think old Roger had to speak to her about playing her music too loud. As well
    As Tanya being a bit of a diva on occasions........ It's not all fun and games playing Bond.

    If he hadn't already decided to call it quits, then making this one would have certainly decided it for him.

    I can't source this offhand, but the story goes that he came off the phone with Cubby and told his wife that he had just turned down ?£12m to play Bond in AVTAK, to which she replied "Are you mad? Phone him back and say you'll do it!"

    Act 4, Scene 5.
    Sir James & Stacey go to see Dignitary Howe but are interrupted by Zorin & May Day.

    We're getting near the point when Sir James discovers Zorin's scheme- to destroy all the potato fields so his own increase in value?

    Great!
    I wonder, could May Day be renamed May Be?
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,738Chief of Staff
    Great stuff, TP.
    N24, only if it sets up a good joke! :))

    I've edited everything we've done so far and put it together at http://www.ajb007.co.uk/post/867478/#p867478

    Next scene, the fire engine chase! I hope Charmed & Dangerous is available.

    Meanwhile, the rest of us can get to work on Act 5, Scene 1. Sir James & Stacey arrive at ye mine...

    I think it needs more jokes, but I don't have any
    At the moment.

    I slipped one or two more in whilst editing, but more is always good! One more Walken reference wouldn't go amiss but I can't think of one right now [Edit- I've done that now.]. Now, all we need is the fire engine chase- if C&D doesn't fancy writing it (I always like his chase sequences) we could start on it tomorrow?



    Act 5, Scene 3. Ye mansion of Stacey, in her bath chamber.

    See http://www.ajb007.co.uk/post/867478/#p867478

    (Exeunt Omnes. Sir James Bond shalt return.)

    Thunderpussy, Barbel, Charmed & Dangerous with a nod to Number 24 and Dirty Punker.

    This one is dedicated to the late Martin Grace, who doubled for Sir Roger in many sequences in AVTAK and earlier.

    Indeed a Legend and I think Sir Roger once said about him ...
    " There but for the God of Grace go I " :)

    For the introduction of Dr Mortner, I thought we could add to his qualifications with
    ... A certificate for woodwork and a bronze medal for swimming, as well as my interest
    In Phrenology, where I feel the bumps on a ladies chest, to determine her well being !
    Sir James: I thought Phrenology, was the study of bumps on the head ?
    Dr Mortner: you study whichever bumps you want, and I'll study what I want !

    For the first meeting of Zorin and Bond, we could have Zorin say something about "have we
    Met before " as Walken and Sir Sean did act together in The Anderson tapes ?

    After the killings in the mine Zorin could add " This is now The Dead Zone "
    "I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."

    Hilarious! :))
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,738Chief of Staff
    The assembled version is at http://www.ajb007.co.uk/post/867478/#p867478. I'll start deleting the draft versions soon. This has been a really enjoyable one to work on.

    Well, there are only two left: FRWL and DAD (by coincidence, the two films often considered the best and the worst). Any thoughts, gentlemen?
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    FRWL, has no huge "Technology" problems, I was thinking instead of Bond being
    Harrased by a helicopter, it could be a trained Eagle ? With Bond using an old wizard
    Creation, a folding bow ? To kill the human handler not the bird of prey. ;) Don't want
    PETA all over us.
    As for DAD, any ideas for what could be an olde space weapon ? Unless as it is a really
    Over the top film. We have a flying galleon ? Filled with canons as a weapon of mass
    Destruction ?
    Just thinking flying ships filled with weapons, That's Cpt America: The winter soldier. :))
    Although as we're Elizabethan, technical we'd be doing it first !
    "I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
  • BarbelBarbel ScotlandPosts: 37,738Chief of Staff
    From what you say, I'd fancy doing FRWL then. (My brain won't cope with the difficulties of doing DAD right now.)

    From East Of The Urals, With Great Affection....?

    (And although I've seen the Capt America movie, it didn't make an impression!)

    Old Wizard: I crave thine attention, Naught Naught Seven. Behold this enchanted satchel!

    Sir James: Thou art one of ye most beautiful women I hath ever seen.
    Tania: I thank'ee, but methinks mine mouth ist too big.
    Sir James: (This is a golden opportunity for a TP double-entendre so here's plenty of advance warning...)
