Ladies and Gentleman, time to rejoice, because Bond returns to the small screen this Sunday night on Channel Seven at 10:30 following the soccer game between Australia and France.

No sceens were cut if thats what you mean. Seven are much better in that regard than Ten.

On an unrelated issue. One thing that always puts me off watching a small screen version of DAF is the gun barrel opening. As you know when a film is shown on TV or VHS, bits of the sides are removed to make it fit onto the screen. Usually with the gun barrel (when Bond turns and shoots) equal sections are taken from both sides to make the circle centred. Not for DAF though, the circle ends up towrds the end of the left had side and its more than a little off putting for me. At least the titles weren't ruined, thanks to those black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.

I never got chance to catch it on TV Freemo. How badly was it cut?
