Yesterday afternoon, on something of a spur of the moment decision, I took myself up to the London Film Museum to see Bond in Motion. I had been wanting to check it out for ages, and it being sunny, with not much else to do, I decided to get it done. Getting up there was easy as usual; finding the museum in Covent Garden was a little more tricky, but didn’t take too long. Once there, though, the bond fan in me was in heaven: aston martins, rolls royces and all kinds of vehicles used in the Bond films were everywhere. They were piping the bond themes through the sound system. I got chatting to one of the very knowledgable guys there about how some of the stunts were done; he sort of attached himself to me and showed me around. I showed him some of my bond-related blog entries on my Ipad, which seemed to impress him. Most interesting for me, however, were the storyboards and original concept art they had on display.

I set off back home after an hour or so really happy, having spurned the chance to have my photo taken in a gunbarrel, but choosing instead to have a quick martini at the O2 en route. I’m sorry, but after an afternoon like that, a martini was essential. I returned home happy at having an awesome day in this awesome city, and vowing to myself hat one day I will own a DB5.
