Living On The Edge

1987 saw two major events in the world of 007, a new James Bond in the shape of Timothy Dalton and the 25th anniversary of the Bond series as a whole. The Living Daylights, Dalton’s first outing as secret agent 007, is an absolute cracker of a film and one of my favourite in the series. It also spawned some great memorabilia and promotional tie-ins from board games, gun sets to large cardboard display stands and even Trio chocolate bars and promo stickers. There were also several items produced to tie-in with the 25th anniversary of our favourite spy, including a special documentary hosted by the previous 007 himself, Sir Roger Moore. So 'set your hopes up way too high, the living's in the way I buy’!
