Bond 50 Blu-Ray Tour

25th September 2012

James Bond legend Sir Roger Moore set the digital timer on a golden briefcase containing the first copy of the Bond 50 Blu-ray collection on 12th September before it traveled the length of Great Britain from Monday 17th to Monday 24th September. To mark the Golden Anniversary of James Bond on film, the golden briefcase set off in an Aston Martin DBS featured in "Quantum of Solace" from Eilean Donan Castle in the Scottish Highlands at 10.07am on Monday 17th September, embarking on a seven-day journey.

Alongside the seven-time James Bond legend, the case was also carried by other 007 icons including Bond actresses Britt Ekland, Shirley Eaton, Tania Mallet and Eunice Gayson, classic villain Richard Kiel, costume designer Lindy Hemming, stunt coordinator Paul Weston and director John Glen.

During its journey across the country, the briefcase traveled in the Aston Martin, by helicopter, train and on foot, stopping off at the most memorable British locations, including Stoke Park, the scene of 1964’s classic golfing encounter between Bond and Auric Goldfinger, and the Eden Project in Cornwall, which doubled as villain Gustav Graves’ diamond mine in "Die Another Day".

At the end of its seven days of adventure the golden briefcase arrived in Central London at 10.07am on September 24th, as Britt Ekland and Richard Kiel hand-delivered it to the HMV store on Oxford Street with the Aston Martin stopping in front of the store.

The BOND 50 Blu-Ray set is now available to buy in the UK and USA.
