“GoldenEye”: Izabella Scorupco – Danish TV interview (“I biffen” 1996)

Prior to the Danish theatrical release of "GoldenEye" in January 1996, Polish-Swedish actress Izabella Scorupco (who played Natalya Simonova in the EON film) was interviewed by Bo Larsen for the syndicated film programme "I biffen".

In the interview, Izabella Scorupco gives her definition of a Bond girl for the 1990's. She talks about her childhood toys and dreams and the lack of gender equality in modern society (still a topical subject today!).

The interview was sourced and edited from a VHS recording off local station TV Fynboen. Except from a brief introduction in Swedish, the segment is in English with Danish subtitles.

Roger Moore in Copenhagen: Danish TV interview (TV 2 1995)

Today, 14 October 1927, marks Sir Roger Moore's 89th birthday.

In 1995, Roger Moore agreed to an interview for the children's show "Snurre Snups Søndagsklub" [Bugs Bunny's Sunday Club] on Danish TV 2 to mark UNICEF's international "Tune In To Kids Day".

The show's host, Bubber (Niels Christian Meyer), met Special UNICEF representative Roger Moore at Hotel D'Angleterre in Copenhagen. The interview was eventually broadcast as a show in its own right, titled "Roger - a gentleman", on 31.12.1995 (with a re-run on 1.1.1996).

In the show, Roger Moore talks about his many visits to the Danish capital of Copenhagen and his childhood in 1930's London. He also shares his thoughts on child rearing and the challenges of being a gentleman in our time and age.

The show is in English with Danish subtitles. Apologies for the poor image quality (the footage was sourced from a second-generation VHS recording).

“Licence to Kill”: Station ID’s for TV 2 Denmark (1989)

In the summer of 1989, a 15 minute special called "Mit navn er Bond ... James Bond" (My name is Bond ... James Bond) was broadcast on TV 2 Denmark.

The show featured interviews with three of the principal actors from the James Bond 007 film "Licence to Kill", which premiered in Denmark on 7 July 1989.

Timothy Dalton (James Bond 007), Talisa Soto (Lupe Lamora) and Desmond Llewelyn (Q) each recorded a brief station ID for the special. These were broadcast on TV 2 in the days leading up to the show.

Desmond Llewelyn's notoriously bad memory leads to a blooper at the end of his segment, and while the inclusion of Llewelyn's gaffe might seem slightly unfair towards the elderly gent, it is quite amusing nonetheless.

The three station ID's combined:

The special itself, Mit navn er Bond ... James Bond", will be uploaded to James Bond•O•Rama's Vimeo page soon.
