Virgin Media licenced to thrill

This week Virgin Media is making all 21 James Bond films available on its TV on demand service.

That's all six Bonds, over 40 Bond villains and, of course, 40 official Bond girls.

For the first time ever in the UK, all 21 James Bond movies will be exclusively available to view anytime - from 1962's Dr No through to last year's box office smash Casino Royale. The Bond collection will be available on Virgin Media from 16 May with prices from £2.50 for a classic Bond title and £3.50 for Casino Royale.

With TV on demand, customers can start the film whenever they choose and pause, fast forward or rewind it just like a DVD.
