I must be 'some' then, cos I'll only be satisfied when we are back where we were before McCann took over
They used the old Renault parts warehouse and the Motorola factory but of course in the films they were supposed to be more exotic locations. Pierce Brosnan is reported in the local paper as saying he had wanted to visit Swindon for years which shows they have no concept of sarcasm
It was a joke. Like, what was international spy James doing in Swindon to end up being shot not once but twice.
The famous scene racing around on ice in Die Another Day was largely shot on the car park at Bourton On The Water with the rest added with the wonders of CGI. I was there three or four years ago and wondered why coachfuls of Japanese tourists were getting off coaches and filming what is now the coach park for a large new Coop car park.

The firm I worked for at that time made all the phoney ice backgrounds out of plastic, it was a big contract.
Lovely place Bourton On .The Water. Hard to associate that car park with the final scenes in the film.
True. But that is what enables a place with about 4,000 residents to have 5 decent pubs, a few excellent restaurants and loads of other places to eat. Wouldn't mind living there, in some of the finer places, and just venturing out when all the day trippers have departed. All 8t would take is 6 numbers to get one of the places I would like there.
Yes you'd need the 6 numbers, of those Cotswold places I think I prefer Broadway to Bourton, just feels a bit more airy to me. But to get back on topic I prefer both of them and lots of others to Swindon...
