What's even cooler than that? If you keep your eyes peeled during Quantum of Solace, you'll even spot him on screen.

Things are heating up as we reach the final act of our Goldeneye Review. After a ride on Alec Trevelyan's armoured train, we end up in the Caribbean for the final showdown. With the briefest of glimpses of Bond's new BMW, we discover mad little Alec's secret base hidden beneath a lake.

Finishing up with a brutal and frantic fistfight between two of Her Majesty's finest, 006 vs 007, we ask the question: Did our boy Pierce do us proud with his first stab at playing James Bond?

This week we enter Q's lab, pay a visit to St. Petersburg to meet CIA contact Jack Wade, and our old friend with the limp, Valentin Zukovsky. We encounter a rather nasty woman in a spa, run into an old friend in a graveyard of statues and get involved in a car chase at the wheel of a tank. What more could you want?

Our deep dive into Pierce Brosnan's debut 007 film continues.
