Bond

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME…Director Lewis Gilbert…Pinewood 007 Stage…Another James Bond film starring Roger Moore…This was a good film for the Supporting Artists as it was made just before Xmas and a few days after… (We called it ‘’getting our turkey’’ money…)This was an all action film for us with the stunt team at the front of it and us ‘’Extras’’ bringing up the rear. (If you got close to an explosion you got extra money)…Some of the boys on the film (Jerry Judge, Bill the body, Jack Ross, Ronnie Woods, The Lizard, Cornflakes) and about twenty others lasted the distance and all had a happy Xmas.I remember seeing ‘’JAWS’’ (Richard Kiel) in the Pinewood Bar drinking a pint and his hands were so big it looked like he was holding a thimble… (These were good days) I remember one big scene near the end of the film when we had to get off the subs as fast as as we could before the whole place blew up. I knew there was going to be loud bangs and plenty of heat so I suggested to this young chap that it would look good in shot if I carried him over my shoulders down some iron stairs as if he was wounded. He thought it was a great idea..
What I was really doing was looking after number one (me) and if it did get really hot and bad he was protecting my face and neck...
