Film crews capturing a dramatic scene and interview with actor John Rhys-Davies.

Anglia TV reporter Paul Barnes is in the grounds of the exotic Elveden Hall, Suffolk which is standing in for Tangiers during filming of the latest Bond film, The Living Daylights. It is cold outside and inside the hall, but the actors are performing a scene of a banquet in the heat of Morocco. The many film extras have been recruited locally, including Sharon Grey of Anglia TV news. Camera crews, lighting and performers prepare for a scene in which Timothy Dalton, the new James Bond, shoots General Leonid Pushkin, head of the Russian KGB, played by John Rhys-Davies. The actor was a student at the University of East Anglia and performed at the Maddermarket Theatre, Norwich. He recalls working as a bouncer at Purdy’s restaurant in Norwich which was open 24 hours a day. He is asked how that compares with working on a Bond film and playing sometimes violent roles. This short video was made to be shown in a news story on Anglia Television early evening news / magazine programme About Anglia.
