Jaws interview, Richard Kiel interview, Heathrow PRT, monorail, gadget question
ASK iGIZMO!
Q I’m a wealthy businessman, hellbent
on world domination.
I have recently moved into a spacious
underground lair but am desperate
for an effective monorail system.
Can iGIZMO help in my gadget quest?

That’s a tricky one, but we admire
your ambition. You may have seen
our feature on Heathrow T5’s PRT
system, which may suit if you’re
expecting a lot of traffic. If you’re
happy to go for something a little
more modest, you can build your
own (or, presumably, get minions /
captured scientists to do so for you).
Take a look at these nice people’s
setup for a little inspiration.
great. But I’m not really into iPods
and all that kind of stuff.
A favourite Bond gadget..?
I like the underwater car.
Favourite theme tune?
Goldfinger, Nobody Does
it Better and the one the
Beatles did [Wings’ Live
and Let Die - Ed]. Songs
can be such a big part
of making the movie a
success.
What do you make of
the Jaws-style Swatch
watch that’s just come out?
I actually had a Swatch before
[this] which was also a diving
watch. The Spy Who Loved Me
watch is quite large and has the
steel teeth built into the wristband.
Not exactly a unisex! It’s pretty
heavy, and the big face just looks
normal on me - and I
like that.
Richard is still acting
and writing. See more

range of Bond villain
watches here.
