James Bond In The Incredible World Of Thunderball later made an appearance [pictured above] in the first episode of the popular BBC Television series Adam Adamant Lives! (1966-67). Broadcast on June 23, 1966, the episode titled A Vintage Year for Scoundrels starred Gerald Harper (1929-2025) as the titular character - an adventurer born in 1867, who had been revived from hibernation in 1966, thus offering viewers a satirical look at life in the 1960s through the eyes of a Victorian. Some later films in the James Bond series also had an official Souvenir Brochure or Poster Magazine available to purchase in cinemas during the original release of film. Souvenir brochures were not produced for every title and usually reserved for ‘Epics’ or ‘Roadshow’ releases of major films in the Fifties and Sixties. These brochures usually contained profiles of the stars appearing in the film, technical credits, stills and a synopsis of the film together with historical data if appropriate. The publication of brochures and magazines just dedicated to one film ceased at the end of the last century, and nowadays the James Bond films are promoted with features in all manner of physical publications and online platforms in the lead up to, and during their release. The sheer number of magazines, websites and social media platforms covering the James Bond films nowadays makes it impossible to compile a definitive list of everything available for any given title since the start of the new millennium. |
