-Hello, I'm Alex Zane.
And welcome to the world famous Pinewood Studios
here just outside of London in the UK.
16 stages set over 200 acres, it's here, today,
that the world's attention has turned,
because behind me is the 007 Stage.
And it's right there that very shortly, we're
going to be having a huge announcement about Bond 24.
Inside right now, the world's media
are gathering, because we are only 10 minutes away
from some big, big Bond news.
While we all patiently wait here in the world famous Albert R.
Broccoli 007 Stage at Pinewood Studios,
I can tell you that this place was built in 1976 for the bond
movie "The Spy Who Loved Me."
After a search across Europe, the Bond producers
failed to find a stage large enough
to house the three submarines one scene required.
So they decided to build a new stage and water tank,
specifically for that film.
Production designer Sir Ken Adam designed the set
to house the Liparus supertankers.
And the 007 Stage remains one of the largest sound stages
in the world to this day.
It was first opened on the 5th of December, 1976.
And the ceremony was attended by then Prime Minister Harold
Wilson.
So we are not far away from the big announcement,
when we will finally find out the title of Bond 24.
We are also going to be unveiling the new car 007 will
be driving in the film.
One thing is for sure, though, it won't be the Aston Martin
DB5, which met a sticky end in the climax of "Skyfall."
Now, there has been a lot of speculation and anticipation
of who the new cast members will be in the film.
And in just under 10 minutes, we will know exactly who they are.
Many great actors and actresses have
joined James Bond over the years on screen-- everyone
from Dame Judi Dench, who has played M,
to Christopher Lee, who played villain Francisco
Scaramanga in "The Man with the Golden Gun."
We'll also discover who will play the new bond girl.
From Honor Blackman, who played Pussy Galore in "Goldfinger,"
to Ursula Andress's Honey Ryder in "Dr. No," and Grace Jones,
who played May Day in "A View to a Kill,"
the role has made many an actress a household name.
[MUSIC THE BEATLES, "LIVE AND LET DIE"]
-(SINGING) --world in which we're living makes you give
in and cry--
-Yes, the excitement is building here at Pinewood
as we await the announcement.
But before all of that, let's just remind
ourselves of who is the world's greatest secret agents.
[MUSIC CARLY SIMON, "NOBODY DOES IT BETTER"]
-(SINGING) Nobody does it better.
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, you're the best.
I wasn't looking, but somehow you found me.
I tried to hide from your love light.
But like heaven above me, the spy who loved me
is keeping all my secrets safe tonight.
And nobody does it better.
Though, sometimes I wish someone could.
Nobody does it quite the way you do.
Why'd you have to be so good?
The way that you hold me, whenever you hold me.
There's some kind of magic inside you,
that keeps me from running.
But just keep it coming.
How'd you learn to do the things you do?
And nobody does it better.
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as you.
Baby, baby, darlin', you're the best.
Baby, you're the best.
Darlin', you're the best.
Baby, you're the best.
