USA TV - Mythbusters to take on `Live And Let Die` speedboat stunt, Wednesday night

Show: MythBusters - James Bond Special (Part 1)
Channel: Discovery Channel (USA)
Date: Wednesday 16th January 2008
Time: 21:00 EST/PST

In this season's first two episodes, Savage and Hyneman delve into James Bond and the authenticity of 007's film gadgetry. They'll try to replicate some of the stunts that thrilled Ian Fleming fans, such as the flying speedboat stunt from 1973's Live and Let Die. The stunt required hasty construction of a ramp in the middle of a California lake, a powerboat and precision planning. "While the results are often spectacular, the big thing for us is the process," Hyneman says.

Part two will premiere on Wednesday 6th February 2008 in the same timeslot.
