BOND GIRLS: 3
Favourite The one and only Tracy Drago (Diana Rigg). Probably the best Bond girl ever.

CRIMINAL MASTERMINDS
Ernst Stavro Blofeld (Telly Savalas), this time trying to blackmail the world into believing he’s a Count by threatening to release a virus that’ll render mankind infertile.

HENCHMEN
Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat), Blofeld’s unflashy second-in-command – dull and doesn’t really do much.

IN ACTION
Some brutal fights and a pulsating ski chase that includes sliding along a bobsleigh track.

Favourite Making a chasing bad guy ski into a snowblower (“He had a lot of guts”).

AFTER BOND
Was set to appear in a martial arts epic with Bruce Lee, but Lee died before it went into production.

SURVEILLANCE TRANSCRIPT
Blofeld “It will take more than a few props to turn 007 into Sir Hilary Bray, Baronet.”
Bond “And it’ll take more than cutting off your earlobes to turn you into a count, Blofeld.”
