Hi, just wondering if anyone can remember the name of the magazine taht Bond reads on the plane to London? It has Graves on the front and I can't remember the name for the life of me.

High Life. Its the BA in-flight magazine. Their November issue was a Bond special with Toby on the cover as Graves.
Had an interview with him and a couple of nice articles on DAD locations and Bond's fashion sense.

Yep, they avoided showing the whole cover, coz it would reveal the words "James Bond"!
I wonder if that mag is worth anything?
I've got a copy that I'm hanging onto.

I was thinking of throwing it away though.

It doesn't have the picture that Bond flicks through to though.

The cover is the same.

Yeah I wondered if it was highlife, cause I have that issue.

What I'm not sure about tho is the inside of the magazine. Wasn't there a picture of Graves with diamonds? I couldn't find that in the magazine. Maybe it was added in specially.

It was high life, coz in the mag itself it say's that Bond would read that issue in the movie.

There was a picture added specially for the movie, but it's not in the actual mag.

The article which Bond is reading in the film features a prominent photograph of Gustav Graves and bears the title "THE KING OF DIAMONDS." It seems the media assigned him an appropriate nickname.

Playboy.

Makes perfect sense when you consider the number of articles about Bond that august periodical has published over the last few decades. The articles being, of course, the main reason anyone would read it! :D
