[The Admiral]

Who's organising the competition? Where did it come about?

[Icephoenix]

Exactly that. Triple M gives out clues as to his location. And you get there like mad! Quite fun really

[Icephoenix]

[James Bond]

This is Daniel from Holland:
I have bloody fantastic news!!!
I'm going to the Bond20 set on the 19th of April and will probably stay there for two or three days.
It will take place in London and I will soon recieve more information about my trip so stay tuned if your interested.
I hope I'm going to see mr. Brosnan himself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! because that would be the most beautiful thing that a Bond fan can happen, am I right?

[ShockTroop22]

Cool news! Well Done Guys!
I visited the set in January (on the 29th), it was really, really interesting, and so cool, to be around Vic Armstrong, Terry Madden, Douglas James (i think), and all the other greats of the Bond world. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as i did. By the way, say hi, to the girl with the chocolates, and the man with the tea (the guy with the tea, is really cool).
All the crew are really friendly.

[Blue Eyes]

Excellent! Please keep us informed

[James Bond]

Blue Eyes (05 Mar, 2002 04:17 a.m.):

How come you visited the studios?
Haven't you seen Pierce Brosnan or any other actors?
Who are the girl with the chocolates and the man with the tea???
Please let me know!!!

[James Bond]

Sorry Blue Eyes, I meant to click on Shocktroop22......

1> Someone who is working on the movie, was kind enough to let me come along, to watch a days filming. (if your reading this: THANK YOU!),
2> Unfortunatley when visits are arranged, its normally done when the actors aren't there. This so you dont get in the way of filming and become a pest. That didn't matter though, i dont think it could have been better even if i had met Pierce, or Halle
3> The Choclate women, and the guy with the tea were the highlight of the day. As many of you will be aware, they dont break for lunch, so a catering company based at Pinewood, bring food out to you all day. I got: 2 Hot Choclates (it was VERY cold), a couple of twix's and Vic Armstong, suggested i have a steak sandwich, so i did
It was a great day, and from the FOOTAGE i got to see, i can tell you guys, you WONT be dissapointed with the Hover-Craft sequence. It really does look better than the boat-chase, and could be the best action-scene EVER in a Bond film.
I also got to check out the cars, and the 007 stage, so i have a few details on them. But, sorry guys, thats something i was asked not to talk about. Anyways, it was a cool day, and as i said before all the crew are really nice, and i even got to help out (well, i helped carry a fuel drum, which gets blown up).
I hope everyone else who gets to visit has as good a time as i did.

[James Bond]

So you think Pierce or any other actors won't be there when probably Sam and me are going there?
Did you ask for Vic Armstrong's autograph?
How long were you there, I mean for how many hours?
I have to admit that it sounds great.
One last question: can you take pictures and videorecordings there???

[ShockTroop22]

As you have won a proper-competition i dunno, the actors may be on set, but im really not certain, although seriously, its great either way, and you'll enjoy it no-matter who is there.
I was there from 9:30am (when filming started) until 4:30pm (when filming ended). These were outside scenes that i saw being filmed, and were affected by sunlight, so it depends if they are filming on the back-lot, or if you are on the 007-stage, stage B, stage D, etc. Bond 20 is basically taking over the studio, i went over to the paddock, but a set had not yet been started.
As for camera's etc....
If they are using explosives, charges, basically any radio controlled equipment, then the use of camera's, vid-cams, and mobile-telephones, is banned, its mainly for your own safety. But take them anyway, and ask someone who knows and is in authority, if you can take a photograph, or something. I think i got one photo of me outside the 007 stage.
I already had Vic's autograph, ive got one on a photo by Keith Hampshire, one with Harrison Ford, and a letter that he sent me. He's a really nice guy.

[James Bond]

Thanks a lot for al your information!

No-problem . Be sure to let us all know how it goes. Its surprising how many people on these forums have been, or are going to the filming, its atleast 4 or 5. It just goes to show that CommanderBond is the ultimate place for Bond fans to hang out. Unlike some other so called Bond sites with forums. (hint hint).

[James Bond]

I agree, all the information you need is here and the discussions are a lot of fun.
I will let you know as soon as I know more (wich I anticipate within a week)

[The Admiral]

Let's hope something happens in the UK!

95.8 Capital said that they were doing a Competition, but when I got in contact with EON, they said that they'd have to ring them and tell them that they weren't allowed to do it. Let's hope they get the permission soon!

[Blue Eyes]

I can really see the competitions happening world wide. There seems to be a big early push doesn't there!

[Blue Eyes]

It's a local radio station actually

[bugman]

I'm the winner of the Sydney Triple M James Bond competition, and I am stoked. Can't wait to go. Hope it's somewhere really nice.

[Blue Eyes]

Well basically it's a chance to win a visit the to the set of Bond 20. I'm still collecting more details and then I'll be posting it.

But there are other things that people can win - such as Bond DVD's etc...
