Hi all, when you are relaxing with your Sunday morning cuppa and taking a squiz at the papers, could you keep an eye out for Bond news?

After the big story yesterday, we're anticipating that The Sunday Times, The Daily Record, News Of The World and others will be running the story, with hopefully, a link to MI6 or CBN.

Keep 'em peeled fella's. Cheers!

You have to love the way that rumour has mutated to Colin Salmon actually talkign to MI6. How interesting! It's like a game of Chinese whispers!

I thought that! I started to think that James had kept links with Colin Salmon hidden from us! Also all that other news looks almost entirely lifted from your main news page Blue Eyes... well done MI6 and CBN!!!

Do you see us complaining??? :-D

Seriously though, all news is good news!

I just heard that the story, with full credit to our sites, featured in The Daily Mail. I'm sourcing a copy tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to have a look.

Colin, if you're reading, sorry about that old chap. I'm sure MGM understood when you explained to them that you haven't been revealing production secrets to some unofficial site. LOL :-)

That's a given I think, James. :)

"The Journal" is a newpaper printed here in the North East of Bond-land (UK), and CONSTANTLY has James Bond or related topics featured in its articles. The other day it had an entire page devoted to whether or not shaking a martini makes it any better/worse. It also had a feature on Judi Dench's recent birthday (in Decemeber), and how Pierce attended her party in London. I swear its always featuring Bond.
The Sun is always good for Bond mentions, however i was at a relatives over X-mas, and i was reading a paper it was local i think (Essex), and it had a half page about Halle Berry confirming she was in Bond 20.
I'll keep a look out for the MI6/CBn mention in the future.
BTW does anyone know where i can get a decent quality pic of the front page of "Tomorrow" as featured in TND, or a pic of HMS Devonshire, as im going to try and make up a full size replica of the paper and get my local paper to print it for me on proper paper.

First Ananova, then Sky News...

We made it to a large article on page 3 of The Times on Saturday 5th January!

I'll scan it and post it later.

MI6 & CBN now in national print... :-D
