EON shows a private screening of Die Another Day to MI6 HQ

19-Dec-2002 • Die Another Day

MI6 spies got their own secret screening of the new James Bond film, The Sun can reveal.

And the spooks gave 007 - played by dashing Pierce Brosnan - their official seal of approval.

It was the first such showing for real agents and was offered by the makers of Die Another Day. They used a special cinema deep inside MI6`s London HQ.

Intelligence officers took a brief break from their relentless, round-the-clock war against terrorists to watch the movie.

It includes shots of the exterior of their distinctive office block beside the Thames.

A government security source said: "We don`t want to give the impression valuable time is being wasted on frivolities.

"The producers offered to give us a private showing and it was accepted."

Security expert Chris Dobson said: "Ordinary people are thrilled by Bond’s exploits and now we know MI6 people are too."
