“At least one of them is a luge chase, so wind your neck in”
The Panel of Peril resign their posts in disgust at being told they aren’t allowed to do whatever the heck they please. Fortunately, their secretary has swapped out their resignation letter for a letter requesting time off to watch many, many films. They shall begin with this week’s film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (Peter R. Hunt, 1969).
James Bond (George Lazenby) is a man obsessed. Obsessed with locating, and capturing, his arch nemesis Blofeld (Telly Savalas) after several prior close calls (with the other fella). Eventually tracking him down to a secret base atop the Swiss Alps, Bond assumes the mantle of genealogist Hillary Bray to investigate the big baldy’s claim to the title of Count de Bleuchamp. What is he up to?

********PLOT SPOILER ALERT********
He actually wants the title to claim immunity for alllllll of his prior crimes, and threatens to sterilise the worlds’ crops and what have you if he doesn’t get his own way. That’s a spicy meat-a-ball-a, and Bond faces a ticking clock to stop the erstwhile Count’s evil scheme. Add Diana Rigg’s feisty Tracy into the mix to steal Bond’s heart, and you’ve got yourself a stunning new rendition of 007, sure to continue for many films to come…
Just what did the panel think of this week’s movie, pray tell? How can they improve upon Blofeld’s sustenance-obliterating plan? And who will be christened this week’s most diabolical?
