Yes, and shown in the proper Fleming order - without the dreadful You Only Live Twice and chubby Sean as couldn't careless Scotsman-with-chip-on-shoulder-in-Japan sandwich between.

How many freakin' channels now own the right to air Bond movies!? I sort of liked the days when TBS or ABC owned Bond exclusively. When a Bond movie was on, or when there was a marathon, it was a real event. Now there seems to be a Bond movie on TV every day and a marathon every month.

You're right Zencat. I remember when it was Thunderball only on this channel, and The Living Daylights only on this channel...etc. Now they're all over the place and sometimes it seems like a case of overkill. Show the Bond film marathons, just don't over do it, and don't chop up the films.
