The other fella - On Her Majesty's Secret Service at 50

2019 marks the 50th anniversary since the worldwide release of On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The film saw the first time that a new actor would be brought in to play James Bond, with George Lazenby (the other fella) replacing Sean Connery. It turned out to be a one-time only deal for Lazenby who left the role after completion. Due to this fact very little was actually produced to market the film, and hence what was produced is quite rare and sort after by collectors. The film is amongst one of my favourites in the series and the memorabilia in my collection is especially prized too. So if you have just a few minutes or 'all the time in the world', I hope you enjoy looking through some of the fantastic items from my collection that were, and have since been, released to market the film.
