Bond Girls Are Forever Pinewood Studios, Sunday July 2nd 2006   Following the huge success of our 2005 Celebration Of James Bond event at Pinewood Studios, we thought it might be fun to organise another summer event for 2006. The theme was soon decided upon, Bond Girls Are Forever, celebrating leading ladies of the films. Within a week of advertising, the event was sold out and anticipation was high. At 9.30am on July 2nd, Pinewood opened its doors to 150 fans and guests who first enjoyed morning coffee in the studio's Club Bar before moving through to the oak panelled ballroom where our special guests chatted, posed for photographs and signed autographs. The line-up was impressive: Eunice Gayson, Zena Marshall, Kate Gayson, Caroline Munro, Maryam d'Abo, Tania Mallett, Shirley Eaton, Deborah Moore, Pamela Salem, Maud Adams and Britt Ekland. Guests could also view the new Ultimate Editon DVDs exclusively supplied by Sony Home Entertainment   Zena Marshall and Eunice Gayson Shirley Eaton Pamela Salem   A little later in the morning our others guests arrived: June Randall, Golda Offenheim, Pauline Hume and Little Nellie - with her father, Wing Commander Ken Wallis.   Tania Mallet, Britt Ekland and Maud Adams pose in Pinewood's beautiful gardens Little Nellie and her father - Wing Commander Ken Wallis   The studio tour meanwhile took in the famous Pinewood lot, gardens and having been granted special permission by Eon Productions to visit a couple of the Casino Royale sets, A-stage and the Paddock Tank - where miniatures for the film were constructed.   The ornamental bridge featured in the pre-title sequence of From Russia With Love The Pinewood tour visited the underwater filming stage   Following a delicious BBQ lunch and mouth-watering desserts, served on the terrace, guests next moved over to Pinewood's luxurious Theatre 7 to settle down for an afternoon's entertainment, all kicked off by a recorded introduction from Roger Moore. Two programmes of film clips were followed by on-stage Q&As with the actresses, and a special tribute was then paid to Maurice Binder and his wonderful title sequences. Binder's assistant Pauline Hume, and her colleague Alan Church, shared a few memories of working with Maurice Binder. Who'd have thought some of the most visually striking sequences were achieved with the likes of watering cans, paddling pools and household goods?   Zena Marshall, Eunice Gayson, Shirley Eaton and Tania Mallet Caroline Munro, Maryam d'Abo, Pamela Salem, Britt Ekland  and Maud Adams share the limelight with Tequilla on stage in Pinewood's Theatre 7 Alan Church and Pauline Hume share their memories of working with Maurice Binder June Randall and Golda Offenheim recall their experiences of working on the Bond movies   The trailer for Casino Royale burst onto the screen, and was followed by June Randall and Golda Offenheim taking to the stage to chat about a few of their experiences, and also to pull the winning raffle tickets out of the hat - prizes included the Ultimate James Bond DVD Collection, Sideshow figures, RC2 cars, Aston Martin Goodies, books, t-shirts and lots more! An exclusive presentation of Sony Home Entertainment's trade trailer for The Ultimate DVD collection was rounded off by Roger Moore thanking everyone for coming. Not a bad afternoon at the cinema! Guests then returned to Pinewood's grand ballroom for tea, and more autograph signing, until Wing Commander Ken Wallis captivated everyone with a chat in the garden, about his film exploits and indeed filming with 'Little Nellie'.   Around 6.30pm guests picked up their goodie bags and started on their journies home, many saying that they'd never forget this most magical of days as long as they live.
