“I cannot claim that I’ve really nailed Blofeld. Overall, it held water and was okay. But it wasn’t what I’ve been looking for. I was searching for more inspiration”, going on to hint that he didn’t quite see eye to eye with the creative team.

Asked about whether he might return in a sequel he replied: “I don’t know about that. Nobody knows. It wasn’t talked about, except in the press”.

    NOT strictly ‘on topic’, I know, but I was surprised to see Christoph Waltz in a minor role, as one of two German spies, in the 1989 TV movie GOLDENEYE, Fact-based biography of the James Bond author, Ian Fleming. Clearly, Waltz’s connection with Bond goes back further than I’d imagined.
