007 - James Bond & Michael Moor
The well regarded 007 film The Living Daylights celebrates over 35th years since its release and for Octopussy (also loved by Bond fans) it has been over 40years since its release - this has given the head of RD Casting, Michael Moor, cause to reflect back on the good times and old school filmmaking on location and on those famous Pinewood 007 sets, while squaring up to two very different James Bonds, the rugged Timothy Dalton and the impeccable Roger Moore.

And as far as cool memorabilia go, this has to be among one of the coolest! Check out Mike's personal invitation to the premiere of Octopussy, attended by Prince Charles and Lady Diana Princess of Wales themselves! They certainly don't hold premieres in that way anymore...
JULIE WALTERs & MICHAEL MOOR
Michael has also had the privilege in his career to meet the illustrious Julie Walters. Take a look at these fab pictures from the set of Love and Marriage. This must have been so much fun.
