RIP big fella xx

Strange! We were just listening to him on the voice box last Sunday morning. One of those reunion progs dealing with the James Bond franchise. He sounded OK.

It's on iPlayer radio:

RIP my favourite Bond villain.

 

The Spy Who Loved Me was one of the first films I recall seeing at the cinema as a kid (Grease and Star Wars were others). I believe I henceforth watched all Bond movies up to and including Golden Eye on cinematic release – but I retain particular affection for the first one I saw and it’s follow-up (Moonraker) – both of which featured the seemingly indestructible Jaws.

 

Bond and Jaws in freefall fighting over one parachute is surely one of the classic moments of the entire franchise.

 

RIP Richard Kiel

I second that  

 

It was one of the earliest Bond films I can remember seeing at the cinema, with my sister as it happens.

 

 

Yes... the limited edition "submarine" version of the Lotus Esprit!

Look what I took a photograph of recently!

 

It's at a vintage motor show in Sheffield City centre.

 

 

Very nice! What’s the next car along with the wooden panelling BTW?

I love the moggie.

 

 

 

There were a number of them in different styles and years - the Morris that is...

 

 

I thought that's what it was called. I do still see some of those about.
