"Live at Five" 1999

Post by Goldeneye »

TV Guide (American edition), November 13-19, 1999. In publication order, this follows the novelization of The World is Not Enough and precedes Doubleshot.

Published the week The World Is Not Enough arrived in movie theatres in America, "Live at Five" is the shortest of all James Bond stories, even shorter than Fleming's previous record-holder "007 in New York". Running only a couple of thousand words, if that, it is a trifle in which Bond, en route to a date with a female TV news reporter, recalls how he once helped a Russian figure skating champion defect in full view of TV cameras. The reporter, Janet Davies, becomes the second real person to be a Bond girl, seen daily on Chicago's local ABC station Channel 7 WLS.
