UK Bondathon
17th November 2002
Channel 4's "Richard & Judy" show are holding the
first TV organised Bondathon this weekend. Six hard-core Bond
fans will have their endurance tested to the limit as they are
whittled down to the two winners who will be whisked away to the
Royal World Premiere.
From Sunday afternoon through to Monday evening, the contestants
will watch Bond films back-to-back for 24 hours or until only
two are left standing. A gruelling schedule will test them to
the limit with only a short 5 minute break between films, authentic
old-fashioned cinema seating, no coffee or stimulant energy drinks,
no talking and no smoking.
The winners will get to appear on the programme with Richard
& Judy and their special guest, one-time-Bond George Lazenby,
before heading off to the Royal World Premiere in their tuxedos.
MI6 has the low-down on two of the contestants who will be taking
part. See how they do on the Monday evening programme (details
below).
