. . . then THE WORLD OF 007 is the perfect period piece for you. If not, better skip it. This puff job is so 1990s, only the history majors among Generation X, Y, and Z'Ers will be able to stomach it. It's hard to see how anyone could have found any "fresh" insights here even in 1995, when it first ran on TV. For Gosh Sakes, some oldie guy speaks from the grave on grainy black & white film--just because he named a made-up spy after the author of a bird book lying around on his "coffee table" (if you still have a great-granny with half her marbles, ask her to explain to you what exactly "coffee tables" were in long ago yesteryear). This factoid-riddled fluff purports to show off "highlights" of the 16 James Bond spy flicks which preceded GOLDENEYE. When I had marketing, it was emphasized that referring to such a long track record might be appropriate to shill products like Ex-Lax or Preparation H. However, a sagacious person would NOT emphasize decades of rote repetition regarding supposedly cutting-edge cultural commodities (for example, movies). A Bond VHS tape commercial is included here. I half expected that to be followed up by a plug for an Agent 007 Victrola Grammaphone.

Interesting enough
studioAT1 February 2020
Hosted by Elizabeth Hurley (Serving Sara) this is a fun, if throw away, look into the world of everyone's favourite super spy, made around the time of the series' relaunch with Piers Brosnan as Bond.
It covers the cars, the stunts, the girls in good measure, and although rather scoots past the Roger Moore era, is entertaining enough.

A Phenomenal Look At 007
The Terminator10 August 2001
You'll find this on the UK Special Edition of GoldenEye and it offers a fantastic insight into the world of 007 (hence the title). The programme covers every aspect of JB, from the Bond actors, the women, the stunts, the music, the gadgets and so-on. Indeed the best part is the stunt section which offers some never before seen footage of a boat crash outtake in Live and Let Die and various other mis-haps. You also get a side-splitting interview with old crumbly Rog Moore, talking about stunts, that goes something like this - "Stunt men get adrenaline out of their work. I myself do not." Your telling me! He even had to use a stunt double to kick someone in the head in A View To A Kill!
Anyway, aside from the decaying Moore, Liz Hurley is a considerably good host, squeezing into the tightest of catsuits and dresses while feeding us a load of primitive info on the different sections of the show.
All in all, a fantastic piece of stuff. Despite the annoying ad-breaks that pop up every ten minutes, it's still something that simply cannot be missed!
