    And so on to On Her Majesty's Secret Service

    Not one i've read as much as some of the others. But straight back into loving it again!

    Bond has more of a sense of humour in this, so perhaps Fleming was inspired by how Connery played his character..? Several times he fantasises about Kicking Irma Bunt up her enormous behind!

    I also like the fact that Bond doesn't much like his mission. First his irritability at going to the College of Arms and then his unease at having to go undercover as Sir Hilary Bray.

    I must say with regard to Irma Bunt, the filmmakers got her casting absolutely spot on with Ilse Steppat. It's like she was ripped from the pages of the book!

    Up to the bit where Bond is about to have his cover nearly blown when a fellow agent is caught trespassing at Piz Gloria.

    Wonderful stuff!
