On Sunday, Jan. 8 the US cable channel AMC (American Movie Classics) will be showing the first big-screen 007 movie Dr. No twice. The first screening will be the regular broadcast version but the second showing immediately following it will be an "Enhanced Version" with accompanying trivia track. Here is the added features from AMC's website: Special editions of Backstory, our signature series that gives you the inside scoop on the making of a movie, to our exclusive Much More Movie, which showcases on-air trivia, to running on-air commentary, interviews and profiles, DVD_TV offers endless ways for you to re-discover the movies you love--and thought you knew. A lot of the information will not be new to Bond fans but could possibly provide some information for new or casual followers of the movies. Two of the examples of trivia in the promos for the screening is the fact that it was not until Thunderball that Sean Connery appeared in the gunbarrel and the fact that Ursula Andress did not audition for her role as Honey. The concept is part of AMC's DVD-TV series which is aimed at targeting the audiences who enjoy the added special features offered by those shiny discs.   Robert Brown was Admiral Hargreaves in TSWLM, OP, AVTAK, TLD and LTK damnit Enforcer, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Roger Moore Proud defender of Barbara Bach, Carole Bouquet, Barbara Carrera, Maryam D'Abo, A View to a Kill, Never Say Never Again and The Spy Who Loved Me. |

Here is the link on AMC's website:
http://www.amctv.com/section?CID=110-EST It takes awhile to load so here is the text: "Television blasts into the information age with AMC's DVD_TV. You don't just watch your favorite movies--you get to experience them as never before. One Sunday each month, in addition to airing one of Hollywood's top hits, we're surrounding it with a host of DVD-like extras to enhance your enjoyment of each film. From special editions of Backstory, our signature series that gives you the inside scoop on the making of a movie, to our exclusive Much More Movie, which showcases on-air trivia, to running on-air commentary, interviews and profiles, DVD_TV offers endless ways for you to re-discover the movies you love--and thought you knew. Dr. No Airs Sun., January 8 At 5:45PM and 8PM ET/PT Sean Connery makes his debut as Bond, James Bond, the gentleman spy who always had a good time in going after the bad guys. Ursula Andress, meanwhile, kicks off the worldwide phenomenon of the "Bond girl" as the bikini-clad Honey Ryder. Shot on location in Jamaica, Dr. No changed the way we looked at heroes forever. The mission begins Sun., January 8 at 5:45PM. Then get the story behind the movie during the trivia-packed Enhanced Version at 8PM ET/PT. Get a sneak peek of Dr. No right here. Is this the Bond flick to judge all others by? What do you know about Bond's favorite drink? Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and, um, that other guy... Do they hold a candle to Sean Connery, i.e., the Great One? Read up on the talent behind Dr. No ."

With the on-air trivia, and running on-air commentary, interviews and profiles this will be the first time I have recorded a Bond movie from TV since I got the special edition DVDs of the movies.

Thanks to Devin for making this a QuickNews item.
This should make an interesting companion piece to the official MGM DVD which had an audio commentary (as this AMC broadcast also apparently has), but no trivia track.

Of course be sure to record the 8 p.m. showing.
The earlier 5:45 p.m. showing is just the standard broadcast of the movie that you can see on those other stations. I added it to my TiVo To Do list this evening after getting back from work.
