The name's Bennett. Nick Bennett. Owner of the world's largest collection of James Bond memorabilia.

In a top-secret location somewhere in the North West of England, the 56-year-old's hoard of more than 12,000 items is stored for his eyes only.

Nick says when it comes to 007 he buys "anything and everything" including spy watches, poker chips, even a speedboat.

His collection features very few Dr No items as the film, [size=inherit]released exactly 60 years ago[/size], was "a very low-key affair".

"The film release wasn't the event that a Bond film is now," he explained.
All that's necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing

We all need to be very cautious of people who are obsessive collectors of anything at all, and especially so if it happens to be surgical instruments and Nazi memorabilia. Just saying……….
