Doctor Who Vs. James Bond, Part 3: Goldfinger

Ian Fleming's seventh spy novel (pub-

lished in 1959) was adapted by Eon Productions as their third Bond feature, whilst the Thunderball court case was

still ongoing.

Released in 1964, the film was the first blockbuster of the run (with a budget

equal to both preceding productions combined), and the first to win an Oscar.

In 1999, Goldfinger ranked 70th in the BFI's Top 100 British cinema poll. Shown

on ITV4 last night, Sean Connery's third assignment featured Bernard Lee, Lois

Maxwell, Desmond Llewellyn, and six-

teen Doctor Who cast and crew
