Table Lamp
1: One of Bond's more inspired weapons - pinned down by Jaws in his train compartment, Bond grabs a lamp and smashes the bulb, leaving only the element, which he then jams against Jaws's metal teeth to give the giant killer a painful electric shock! (TSWLM)
2: A means for Columbo to listen in on Kristatos's conversation with Bond - the lamp conceals a micro-cassette recorder. (FYEO)
Taiwanese Tycoon 
(Anthony Chin)
One of Zorin's business partners, who is reluctant to go along with the terms of Project Main Strike. As a result, Zorin asks him to leave the room while the remaining tycoons confer. May Day shows him outside - literally, as the meeting is taking place aboard one of Zorin's airships, thousands of feet in the air! (AVTAK)
Taj Mahal
A famous Indian palace, near Delhi, that Bond takes a quick scenic flypast of as he follows Kamal Khan to India. (OP)
Talbot, Captain
(Bryan Marshall)
The commander of HMS Ranger on its ill-fated final mission. Although he leads the raid on the Liparus's armoury, he is killed by an exploding grenade while trying to take the docking bay. (TSWLM)
Talcum Powder
1: Low-tech means used by Bond to determine if anyone had attempted to open his briefcase. (DN)
2: Rather more flashy briefcase defence device, a can of the powder also containing a tear-gas cartridge which explodes if the case is opened incorrectly. (FRWL)
Tanaka, Tiger
(Tetsuro Tamba)
Head of the Japanese SIS, Tanaka's identity is one of the most closely guarded secrets in Japan - Henderson is one of the few people outside the organisation who knows who he is. He has a private subway train that lets him travel around Tokyo in secrecy, and a very old-fashioned attitude to the place of women in society, which is probably why Bond immediately takes to him. While he is the equivalent of M, he takes a very hands-on approach to his work, leading an attack by his ninjas on SPECTRE's volcano base on Matsu. (YOLT)
Tanker Driver
(Jose Abdala)
One of Sanchez's crack team of overweight truckers, ferrying cocaine-laced gasoline out of the country. He attempts to stop Bond getting past, but first has his truck run into a ravine wall, then blown up by a Stinger missile. (LTK)
Tanner, Bill
(?, James Villiers, Michael Kitchen)
MI6's Chief of Staff for many years, acting as the organisation's effective second-in-command under three different Ms. He smokes a pipe, and doesn't think much of the first female M's bureaucratic approach to the job.
NB: The Chief of Staff in TMWTGG is unnamed, but he can be assumed to be Tanner. (TMWTGG, FYEO, GE)
Tanya
What Tatiana Romanova prefers her friends to call her. (FRWL)
Taperape
The Brazilian river which is home to the rare black orchid. (MR)
Tape Recorder
Bond has one of these concealed within a rather old-fashioned camera, to record Tatiana Romanova's description of the Lektor coding machine (FRWL). He also uses one inside a dictionary to work out the location of a lurking intruder in his Nassau hotel room (TB).
Tarantula
Biodegradable means by which Dr No intends to kill Bond, the method being for Professor Dent to put the spider in his bed. However, the spider fails to bite when it has the chance, possibly deterred by all that hair, and comes off worst when it is involved in a collision with one of Bond's shoes. Bond obviously takes a dislike to the arachnids, as he splatters them on sight while escaping from Kamal Khan's palace. (DN, OP)
Taro, Miss 
(Zena Marshall)
Playdell-Smith's secretary at Government House in Jamaica, and also an operative of Dr No. It is she who leaked the information about Bond's arrival on the island. She invites Bond to her house as a ruse for the "Three Blind Mice" to ambush him en route, but when they fail, she has to keep him there until someone can arrive to finish the job. After enjoying her hospitality, Bond turns her in to Superintendant Duff as a spy. (DN)
Tarot Cards
Mystical means of telling the future, used (with great accuracy) by Solitaire to aid the plans of Dr Kananga. Bond uses a somewhat stacked deck (all the cards are The Lovers) to seduce Solitaire. (LALD)
Tart's Handkerchief
Bond's description of what Mr Wint's aftershave smelt like. (DAF)
Tarzan
The jungle hero of novels and cinema, whose yodelling cry is imitated by Bond as he swings from vine to vine to escape the hunt at the Monsoon Palace. (OP)
Taxi Driver
1: (Arnold Williams) A hugely sideburned employee of Mr Big, who drives Bond into danger in both New York and New Orleans. (LALD)
2: (Lucien Jerome) A wine-imbibing Parisian cabbie who is decidedly unhappy about having his lunchbreak interrupted and his taxi stolen by Bond outside the Eiffel Tower. (AVTAK)
Taurois Volitas (?)
The Latin name for the lionfish, a fish with spines laden with deadly venom on its back. Bond correctly identifies it in Stromberg's aquarium. (TSWLM)
Tear Gas
Incapacitating gas that causes severe burning to the eyes and breathing passages. A cartridge hidden in a talcum powder container is used to good effect when Bond dupes Red Grant into opening one of the Q Branch briefcases. (FRWL)
Tea Tray, Maglev
Or magnetic levitation, if you prefer. Q designed a maglev system to fit under a table - a metal tray placed on it shoot sdown the table and decapitates whoever is sitting at the end. A delighted Q tells an assistant to make it ready for Achmed's tea party. (TSWLM)
Tea Tray, X-Ray
One of Q's gadgets that contains an x-ray document scanner, allowing him to read the contents of envelopes placed upon it. (GE)
Tectronics
One of Willard Whyte's corporations, Tectronics is developing a moon buggy for NASA. It is also where Blofeld is building his laser satellite. The company's plant is in the desert outside Las Vegas. (DAF)
Teddy Bear, Explosive
Natashi Zarki's preferred weapon of assassination. (TLD)
Tee Hee
(Julius W Harris)
One of Dr Kananga's henchmen, a large, permanently chuckling man with an artificial arm tipped with a steel claw. Tee Hee lost the arm to a crocodile, for which Bond congratulates the perpetrator. While Baron Samedi keeps the population of San Monique under control, Tee Hee takes care of things for Mr Big in a more physical way. He is all to eager to start snipping off parts of Bond's body with his claw if he fails to answer Kananga's questions correctly, and later strands Bond on a small island, surrounded by hungry crocodiles and alligators. After Bond's escape and Kananga's ignominious death, Tee Hee seems to drop from sight - until he slices his way out of a mailbag on the train taking Bond and Solitaire to New York. He traps Solitaire in her folding bed and tries to take Bond apart - instead, Bond takes him apart, by cutting the wires controlling his artificial arm, locking it onto a handrail, and then hurling Tee Hee out of the train window. (LALD)
Telegram
A communication sent to Melina Havelock, ostensibly from Bond - in reality it had been sent by Locque, to lure her into a trap. (FYEO)
Telephone Woman
A German woman who just won't get off the phone when Bond needs to make an urgent call to prevent nuclear disaster. So he steals her car instead. (OP)
Television
Broadcast medium to which Bond is not well disposed. (YOLT, TND)
Tennis Racquet
A piece of sporting gear that tennis pro Vijay uses to deal with some of Kamal Khan's thugs. (OP)
Terrat Teu
A diamond shown to Bond by M before his investigation of diamond smuggling. (DAF)
Thatcher, Denis
(John Wells)
Husband of Margaret Thatcher and noted drinker of gin and tonics. He receives a slap on the wrist from his wife for stealing the food that she was preparing. (FYEO)
Thatcher, Margaret
(Janet Brown)
The British Prime Minister between 1979 and 1990, whose call to congratulate him on the success of his latest mission was actually answered by Max the parrot, who requested that she give him a kiss. She seemed rather pleased with the request. (FYEO)
Thermite Charge
The explosive attached to the ATAC system aboard the St Georges, designed to completely melt the device if there was any risk of it falling into enemy hands. After deactivating the ATAC's destruct circuit, Bond uses the charge to destroy a man in a JIM diving suit who was trying to steal the ATAC. (FYEO)
Three Blind Mice
Dr No's team of hitmen, using the ruse of being blind to kill Strangways in Kingston. (DN)
Three-Four
The MI6 man at Blayden who discovers Necros in the process of disposing of a murdered cook. Although he puts up a good fight, the combination of an electric carving knife, having his face shoved onto a hot grille and being generally beaten up see to his demise. (TLD)
Thruster Tank
A pair of scuba tanks modified by Q with the addition of a propeller unit, searchlamp and explosive harpoon launchers, which lets Bond blast through underwater battles at high speed. (TB)
Thumbscrews and Hot Coals
Bond's prediction for the means Kamal Khan would use to get him to reveal who he really was. (OP)
Thumper
(Trina Parks)
The associate of Bambi at Willard Whyte's summer house. Thumper prefers to kick her opponents into submission. Luckily, submission is not in Bond's nature! (DAF)
Thunderball
MI6 codename given to the search for the stolen Vulcan bomber and the bombs it contained. (TB)
Tibbett, Sir Godfrey
(Patrick MacNee)
An MI6 agent, possibly now in semi-retirement - his speciality is in horse breeding and racing. Tibbett is suspicious of Zorin's unusual successes at racing, because his horses don't have the lineage usually required for victory. His connections allow him to get Bond an inviation to Zorin's stud auction, and he comes along - but has to act as Bond's chauffeur, a piece of social inversion he's clearly unhappy about (especially when Bond plays the haughty aristocrat all too well). When he and Bond discover Zorin's stockpile of microchips, Tibbett drives from Zorin's chateau to contact M - but is killed by May Day as he puts his Rolls-Royce through a car wash while waiting for the phone to become available. (AVTAK)
Ticket Agent
(Teresa Blake)
A Pan-Am attendant at Miami airport, who gives Bond the news about Sanchez's escape. (LTK)
Tiger
The name of a prototype helicopter gunship developed in France by Eurocopter, which combines stealth technology with shielding against electronic warfare and electromagnetic pulse effects. It is this last ability which leads the Janus syndicate to steal the helicopter during its demonstration aboard the French frigate La Fayette - it is the only aircraft which will still be able to fly after a detonation of the Russian Goldeneye satellite. When the Tiger's usefulness is over, Trevelyan sets it to fire Mistral missiles that will loop back and destroy their launch point, along with Bond and Natalya Simonva. Luckily, Bond is able to activate the helicopter's ejector system a second before impact, the rotor blades being blown off by explosive charges so that the entire cockpit can be shot safely into the air by rockets, then parachute down to Earth. (GE)
Tigerskin Rug
A decoration in the Monsoon Palace, which Bond threw over a balcony to distract a guard waiting for him below. (OP)
Tight End
Radio callsign of CIA agent Maxwell, assigned to watch Tiffany Case during Operation Passover. (DAF)
Timer
Device used to detonate explosives. The first one used by Bond was a large box with a loudly ticking clock; successive ones would become smaller and more high-tech, but still incorporate bleepers and/or flashing lights which would still somehow evade detection! (GF)
Tofana
The summit of a Cortina cable-car station at 3243 metres above sea level, where Bond meets with Ferrara. (FYEO)
Toppling
The technique of disrupting the gyroscopic guidance system of a rocket or missile by using a radio beam. Dr No employs this method to sabotage the American space programme. (DN)
Toro, Colonel Luis
(Ken Norris)
A Cuban air force colonel to whom Bond bears a close resemblance. His CI Number is 358. Toro was in charge of the project testing a new radar system on a Cuban plane, which Bond was assigned to destroy by impersonating him and planting a bomb. The ruse was discovered, but Bond later used a homing missile fired at his Acrostar to destroy the plane - and Toro. (OP)
Toyota 2000
Japanese sports car, used by Aki to save Bond's life on two occasions. Her car has been equipped with a two-way TV that allows her to communicate with Tiger Tanaka, though as it's set into the back seat it's not much use while she's driving. (YOLT)
Tracking Device
A small yellow gadget the size of a Walkman, which Bond uses to locate the corpse of 003 in the Siberian ice. (AVTAK)
Traction Table
A motorised gadget at Shrublands health farm, designed to stretch the spine. The staff at Shrublands call it 'the rack'. Bond's session on it is less than pleasant, as Count Lippe turns it up to maximum in the hopes of severely injuring 007 as a warning to keep out of his business. (TB)
Tranquiliser Gun
One of Goldfinger's minions shoots Bond with one of these to render him unconscious. Octopussy also makes use of one to deal with one of Gobina's hired killers, and Alec Trevelyan's bodyguards saw to it that Bond didn't kill their boss by nailing 007 with one. (GF, OP, GE)
Trans-Siberian Pipeline
A natural gas pipeline running across the Soviet Union and into Europe. Bond uses this pipeline to send Koskov to the West past the border guards, by putting him inside a special capsule and simply firing him down the pipe to a reception point across the border. (TLD)
Tree, Shady
(Leonard Barr)
A Las Vegas nightclub entertainer, who is also involved in diamond smuggling. He regularly performs in the Lincoln Lounge of the Whyte House, with the same material he's used for 40 years - until Wint and Kidd prove to be rather stern critics. (DAF)
Trembler Switch
Part of the ATAC's destruct system, which Bond bypasses by cutting the blue, red and green wires leading to it in the correct order. (FYEO)
Trench, Sylvia
(Eunice Gayson)
A socialite and gambler in London, whose assignations with Bond were invariably interrupted by his rushing off on missions. (DN, FRWL)
Trevelyan, Alec
(Sean Bean)
One of Bond's friends, and a fellow 00 agent, in this case 006. Trevelyan and Bond were assigned to infiltrate a Soviet nerve gas factory and destroy it, but Trevelyan was captured and apparently killed. However, his murder by General Ouromov was a fake - Trevelyan went deep undercover to establish himself as Janus, head of a crime syndicate. He took the name partly from the Roman god of two faces, and partly in a piece of bitter irony - the bombs that he and Bond had planted had been set by 007 to explode prematurely, Trevelyan being caught in the blast and suffering scarring to one side of his face.
Trevelyan turned traitor out of revenge - at the end of World War II, his Lienz Cossack parents had been sent back to Stalin's Russia by the British government, and his father killed himself and his wife out of shame. MI6, when they later recruited Trevelyan, believed he had been too young to remember this - unfortunately, they were wrong. The theft of the Goldeneye was the final step in Trevelyan's plan to make Britain pay - he intended to use it to destroy every computer in London, triggering a financial meltdown (after he had electronically robbed the Bank of England with the help of Boris Grishenko) and plunging the country back into the Stone Age.
As Janus, Trevelyan has been unseen for years, with his Lienz Cossack parentage the only known fact about him. He lives on a former missile train, which runs around the country on a network of military tracks so as not to be detected. He has connections in the KGB and the Soviet military, as well as Cuba and Iraq, so has plenty of financial, criminal and military muscle behind him - as well as being just as dangerous physically as Bond himself.
At his base in Cuba, Trevelyan captures Bond, but 007 and Natalya escape in the confusion after Boris inadvertantly sets off Bond's grenade pen. Bond heads for the transmitter atop the antenna array to destroy it, but Trevelyan pursues him, the two 00 agents battling it out on the girders until Trevelyan gets Bond at gunpoint. For a moment, Bond actually seems beaten, but he outwits Trevelyan by first dropping through a trapdoor down to the very base of the antenna, then tipping Trevelyan over the edge. The long fall to the dish below doesn't kill the traitor - but the hundreds of tons of girders that drop onto him when the antenna array explodes do!
NB: 'Trevelyan' was also the name of a British film censor who provoked outrage in the early 1960s by granting the then-shocking sex and violence of the early Bond films a certificate which let them be seen by family audiences. A fine way of paying back somebody for whom Eon have a lot to be grateful! (GE)
Triana
Sir Timothy Havelock's ship, equipped for undersea exploration and supported by Neptune, a two-man submarine. (FYEO)
Trikes
Balloon-tyred motor-tricycles used by Tectronics's guards to pursue Bond in the stolen moon buggy. After Bond leaps from the buggy, he commandeers one of the trikes and heads for the main gate. (DAF)

Trudi
One of the girls at Piz Gloria, ostensibly there for allergy research but in reality being brainwashed by Blofeld to help spread his crop sterility virus. (OHMSS)
Truman-Lodge
(Anthony Starke)
The yuppie accountant for Sanchez's drugs empire, obsessed with demographics, market research and keeping track of every last penny. Eventually Sanchez tires of Truman-Lodge's constant whining and totting-up of the millions of dollars that Bond is costing them, and blows him away with a quip of "I guess it's time to start cutting overheads". (LTK)
Tulip
What Moneypenny would settle for Bond bringing her back from Amsterdam if he won't bring her a diamond - set in a ring. (DAF)
Turtle
Aquatic animal used by Domino to get a free ride while diving. (TB)
Two-Way Mirror
Normally found in police stations, SPECTRE put one to more imaginative use by fitting it in Bond's hotel room and filming his tryst with Tatiana Romanova. (FRWL)
Tynan, Dr
(Henry Rowland)
The company dentist at a South African diamond mine. He is involved in a smuggling ring - miners bring him diamonds hidden in their mouths, and he then removes them and pays them off. Tynan then takes the diamonds to a contact called Joe out in the desert, hiding the diamonds in a secret compartment in his motorbike's exhaust pipe. He is killed after making a delivery when Mr Wint drops a scorpion down the neck of his shirt. (DAF)
