UK ITV Bond
How come ITV never seem to show any Bond films on ITV1 now. I know they are on ITV2/4 (and of course I can watch them on DVD) but I don't think ITV1 have had one on for ages.

I sure they did, but I can't find anything on Google. Maybe someone can clarify this for me. Maybe I'm talking nonsense as usual .:wink:
But I think you could be right Carl. Though I also cannot find a link.
Of course I never talk nonsense.

Surely you have the films on DVD or VHS (Arrrgggghhh)?carl stromberg wrote:Maybe the days of watching all the Bond films cut to pieces and in the 4:3 on ITV every summer (and bank holidays and Christmas!) are finally over.
ITV did a Bondathon over the Christmas period, but they were on ITV4.

Are the cuts to the old, PG-rated Bond films a new thing or have they always done it? I watched LALD a few years back and the shot of the agent being stabbed at the New Orleans funeral during the pre-credit sequence was snipped, though I'm sure I remember it being there in previous screenings of the film on ITV.carl stromberg wrote:Maybe the days of watching all the Bond films cut to pieces and in the 4:3 on ITV every summer (and bank holidays and Christmas!) are finally over.

That's why I specified the PG-rated Bonds. I can understand them cutting LTK for a pre-watershed showing, but the scene in LALD I mentioned was a little excessive considering the stabbing was only shown momentarily to begin with, and there was no blood shown.carl stromberg wrote:I think that the last time ITV showed Licience To Kill it was on at one o'clock on a Sunday afternoon. What a wonderful channel.
ITV seemed to excise bits at random to fit the films into the required time slots.

I see! They were either a bit too over the top with the censorship, or they thought they would cut a bit to make it fit their schedule.That's why I specified the PG-rated Bonds
Yes, I've got round to buying them now, seeing as they are all about £4.50 on DVD.Surely you have the films on DVD or VHS (Arrrgggghhh)?

As for the Bond films on tv, the tv stations should be shot for the way they butcher films in order to fill the running time slot and cram as many station breaks in as they can.

you could at least record them from the tv...but you should really buy them. There all very affordable nowadays.

The experience of watching them on DVD is quite different and enhanced. Also the documentaries, deleted scenes and trailers are great fun.

I've yet to hear them , but I've heard plenty of positive reviews about them.Captain Nash wrote:The features on the bonus discs and the additonal material is some of the best on any dvd.
Of the UE editions the Roger Moore commentaries are some of the highlights and worth the money alone.

It would be good to see them. Imagine a scenario where the fans get to see the screentests before the actor is chosen and then get to decide who they want as Bond via a poll.ID wrote:One of the things I enjoyed the most about the ultimate editions was the footage from screentests. I would love to see more of all the screentests they've done over the years.
