Bond Love: Border Television junction, December 27th 1996

A brief junction from Border on the 27th of December 1996. Starting in the middle of the local Border News and a piece about drinking and driving and STOP DOING IT YOU CHUCKLEFUCKS. This year we're getting the "Drink a Little, Risk a Lot" campaign with little cartoon men drowning in a vortex of beer, desperately clutching at oversized driving licences. I don't know how much of a difference that will make, and they don't run on television anymore anyway because the young (who are the main guilty demographic) don't watch it. So that turns out to have been an unusually grim "and finally". Now a look at the Border weather around Britain's necktie: cold as a polar bear's balls. As usual. At least it's not raining. That was tonight's Border news, and the last of the day. And now, a trailer, heralded with a CGI animation of a snowflake falling on a Christmas present. It's a Bond film! Four days after Christmas itself (Sunday being the 29th), but better late than never, and besides it's only Timothy Dalton. Not that the abortive Dalton era was bad, but it was kind of grim and self-consciously hard, and not particularly fun for Christmas viewing. But here's The Living Daylights anyway. At least it's not as unspeakably violent and nihilistic as Licence to Kill. Also Maryam D'Abo is cute, and I like how Dalton found a naturalistic delivery for the obligatory "Bond, James Bond" part. Whether or not naturalism is appropriate for that line is another question altogether. After that, please enjoy the 1996 (and probably other years as well) Border Christmas ident! It's that snowflake/present animation again, only slower, which makes it more sumptuous somehow, with more time to savour the detailed carving on the snowflake, and the chiming pseudo-choral festive mix of the usual jingle, before fading to the Border logo in front of a snowflake mosaic. Lovely stuff. No announcement - it's fairly late - but it's introducing Tina Turner Live in Amsterdam on her Wildest Dreams tour. In the then-brand new stadium built for Ajax and Euro 2000 with a spurious closing capital A for some reason.
