007: Spies
A bonus for the end of the first week.
With the tradition of big movies showing on TV at Christmas, there’s a lot of Bond in the mix.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is the only Bond film set at Christmas and the time is basically used for a skiing holiday with world conquest side plot, but we see quite a bit of winter in the films from then on, right up to No Time To Die starting at the edge of a frozen lake.
My Trinity Continuum suggestions mostly apply here, ski and snowmobile chases and all. But going with a somewhat topical adventure theme...
I Saw Three Gunships Come Swooping In
Almost all the goods for the festive season in the UK arrive on massive container ships. Some years, just one - in 2006 it was the maiden voyage of the biggest ship in the world, “quarter of a mile long, 200ft-high (61 metre) behemoth, that is as wide as a motorway and is powered by the largest diesel engine ever built”...
How do you stop it if it gets hijacked and aimed at our busiest port?
(In reality several ships arrive in September or October most years, but the dramatic irony of the lights already being up so put it around mid to late November for Black Friday overstock.)
