For Our Eyes Only Sunday 20th September 2015 Pinewood Studios, London, England
On Sunday 20th September, guests arrived to be greeted by a replica Citroen 2 CV outside Heatherden Hall at Pinewood, and were welcomed for early morning tea, coffee and biscuits whilst a number of memorabilia stalls were open for business.   Soon after 10.30am, John Glen was flanked by key members of his crew to introduce his first James Bond film as director, For Your Eyes Only, and chatted about the exciting opportunity Cubby Broccoli offered him when he asked "What would you say to directing the next Bond film?"   The cast & crew introduce For Your Eyes Only in the John Barry theatre   A few more cast members arrived whilst the film was running, including the star of the film himself - Sir Roger Moore as well as Stefan Kailpha and William Hoyland. In the lobby of the John Barry Theatre they, together with John and the other members of cast and crew who sneaked out quietly, shared a glass of Bollinger before our big surprise was revealed as the end titles rolled ... on walked James Bond himself, to riotous applause.   John Moreno, Stefan Kalipha and William Hoyland Keith Hamshere and Anthony Waye   Left To Right: Willy Bognor, Alec Mills, Keith Hamshere, Alan Tomkins, John Richardson, Elaine Schreyck, John Fenner, William Hoyland, Sir Roger and Lady Moore, Anthony Waye, Peter Lamont, John Glen, Paul Weston, John Moreno, Terry Ackland-Snow, Alkis Kritikos, John Grover and Colin Miller   Willy Bognor, Sir Roger and Lady Moore   A delicious two-course Sunday lunch was served in the Pinewood Ballroom, following which John Glen and Sir Roger took to the stage to share a few memories and tales of working together - and they became particularly animated discussing Tula, the first transsexual Bond girl. "At what point did you realise?" the mischievous Sir Roger asked John Glen.   Sir Roger Moore and Keith Hamshere Sir Roger Moore & John Glen during the on-stage Q & A   Both Sir Roger and John were launching their new books at the event, several weeks of them becoming commercially available in stores, and happily signed for fans whilst posing for photos.   John Glen Sir Roger Moore   Having braved four hours of traffic jams William P. Cartlidge joined us, but unfortunately Julian Glover (having been stuck in the same jam, but less successfully) wasn't able to reach us in time and sent his abject apologies.   Later in the afternoon Dave Worrall lead a tour through the Pinewood gardens before returning for the grand final of our Mastermind quiz, with some terrific prizes supplied by Eon Productions. Another Q&A session (with film clips) followed with art director Alan Tomkins, ski-photographer Willy Bogner (who had flown in especially for the event) and actors William Hoyland and Stephan Kalipha who both reminisced about their death scenes in the movie!   Dave Worrall conducting the Pinewood gardens tour As the nine-hour long day came to a close, fans, cast and crew all agreed it was one heck of a nice way to spend a Sunday!   All photographs are copyright Mark Mawston \ Bondstars LLP and must not be used without prior permission.   Bondstars would like to thank...   Sir Roger & Lady Moore John Glen John Richardson Willy Bogner Bill Cartlidge Peter Lamont Alan Tomkins Alec Mills John Fenner Paul Weston Keith Hamshere Colin Miller John Grover William Hoyland Stefan Kalipha Julian Glover Alkis Kritikos John Moreno Andy Bradford Tony Waye Elaine Shreyeck Barbara Broccoli, Michael G, Wilson, Stephanie Wenborn and all at EON Productions Ltd Remmert van Braam Pinewood Studios FilmSceneUK Bernard Vandendriessche Dave Worrall Andrew Huczyk Andy House Mark Mawston Andrew Freeman Adrian Head Paul Marchant-Smith Chris Winwood Sue Griffiths Sue Whatley Stewart Crowther (Sir Roger Moore's driver)     Bondstars will return in 2016
