The collectables — from each of Bond’s 22 films and the next instalment, Skyfall — will be auctioned off at Christie’s to mark the 50th anniversary of the spy franchise’s first movie, Dr No, in 1962. Proceeds will be sent to a dozen charities, including UNICEF. Meanwhile, Quantum of Solace Bond girl Olga Kurylenko has rubbished rumours that she is dating actor Tom Cruise.
