In this episode we interview Dan Zell co-founder of the London Sock Exchange.

ANYTHING BONDIAN PETE & ROB:

Rob talks about curling, and Pete (me) finds himself in a Shepherds Bush cafe where they filmed an arthouse Daniel Craig film, Some Voices (2000). There is also a clip where he gets naked and you can see it ALL in this youtube video.

Min 22

There is a little person whistling the theme to Goldfinger. Norman McGlen. From the REDDIT thread:

They were concerned about Lazenby being accepted as the new Bond and they made an effort to make references to the previous films wherever possible (credit sequence, desk scene, this scene, etc.).

In the audio commentary for OHMSS, director Peter Hunt says he was the one that suggested they cast a midget for this sequence. He doesn't say why they chose specifically Goldfinger for him to whistle though.

Bond is taken through to Draco. He fights off the assailants. It's a raucous fight. Kicks to camera, ricochets, and whiplash like echoes career around the walls.

He meets Draco, who tells him not to kill him until they've had a drink 

Bond throws the knife at the calendar.

MIN 23

Draco tells his girl Olymp played by Virginia North to get them a martini for the guest and a campari for him. Bond knows of Draco and tells him he normally drinks Corsican brandy. 

Bond tells Draco he doesn't have the biggest crime syndicate in Europe.

He says,

..Actually a chap called Blofeld does.

Virginia North. She married a Baron who was the inspiration for Terence Stamp's character in Wall Street. Gordon White, Baron White of Hull. More info on WIKI.
