  • A special effects model maker artist works on a clay head of actor Pierce Brosnan in his role as James Bond in the 1996 film GoldenEye, filmed at an old Rolls-Royce factory at the Leavesden Aerodrome in Hertfordshire. Using publicity and studio head shots of Brosnan, the woman refers to the glossy prints to sculpt the contours and shape for a scene requiring a miniature version of 007. GoldenEye (1995) is the seventeenth spy film in the James Bond series, and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film was directed by Martin Campbell and is the first film in the series not to take story elements from the works of novelist Ian Fleming.

  • BBC warm-up man Miles Crawford holds up two boards prompting the audience watching the National Lottery Show to Clap or Laugh in BBC Television Centre in West London, England. Lit by studio lighting with a universe of stars in the background, Crawford is a respected and versatile stand-up comic and TV personality in his own right  working for the BBC, Sky, Channel 4 and ITV. Ironically, warm-ups perform a preliminary act before a TV show is recorded to literally warm an audience into non-spontaneous laughter to help a comedy's atmosphere - albeit with the help of prompt signs like these. The first National Lottery Live show was at 19:00 on Saturday 19 November 1994.
