An odd choice, perhaps. But think about it. Q always goes over the top. “Here you go, Bond. A tomato that turns into a battering ram. Try not to break it, now.” Yet, here, in the very first minute of George Lazenby’s only 007 film, he pulls out the simplest, most lo-fi, absurd gadget ever. A piece of lint that, when placed into a suspect’s clothing, can track said suspect. Until said suspect throws it out with his old sticks of gum. Didn’t think about that, did you Q?
