    Oh god, yes, now I remember. 'the double oh programme' instead of section.
    'Programme' is just what they call it at an admin/management level. When setting it up or making changes and the like. It's still the double oh 'section', as Mallory states to the SCO19 officer on the bridge later.

    Well, I don't know how things are organised in the UK of course, but I've been working with civil servants most of my adult life, and a 'programme' is always a temporary set-up (allthough can last for tens of years) and has a certain goal. A section is just part of the standing operation.
    I don't think they ever thought it through. They are very different beasts. In Fleming's world, the section was small, with a small bureaucratic set-up. In this film it's rather large, and even has camera's hanging in the area where they work? That's definately not up to NATO security standards.
