George Lazenby. Married to Pam Shriver. Quite underrated Bond, I must say.

Our fence looks a little wobblier and a bit run down...which isn't very Swiss. :duno:

I do hope if we don't solve it before the show, we at least get enough info during the episode to figure it  :pullout

You really are determined to find it before it aires though aren't you puddin :cheer:

Thank goodness , an actual episode 1 finding! :funny:

That looks like absolutely the right kind of fence even if it isn't a match...

so we have buildings, sports ground, parking...some kind of school? Sporting complex? Is the cheese building real or created for us?

I have a dairy, but no pics,  :'(

To me, the area behind that fence looks like a field for livestock or similar.

Also, is anybody able to read what is written on the green logo on their shirts and the black sign? Might need a HD shot for that.

It's probably a bit high for livestock, and the shirts have been solved already by puddin. They are bell ringers, and the black thing off to the side is one of their oversize bells

I stand with Kogs on this one. George Lazenby is generally regarded as the worst James Bond ever, although On Her Majesty's Secret Service was a decent film. He was the actor picked to follow Sean Connery in the James Bond roles so that had difficulty built-in. "Although his performance was by no means as bad as some critics have claimed -- in fact, time has been kind to his no-nonsense interpretation of the character -- Lazenby invited reams of bad press when he spoke ill of his highly respected leading lady "Diana Rigg". While Secret Service earned nine million dollars (less than its predecessors, but still a success), Lazenby's future career as James Bond was scuttled when Sean Connery agreed to return to the fold in Diamonds Are Forever in 1970. Lazenby has continued to appear in films ever since, albeit often in a campy manner alluding to his failure to capitalize on his brief Bond fame."

This is not the place to argue Bonds, but I feel with time the movie has gotten better with age and Lazenby has as well.

OK, back on topic.

I have been trying to find a place up in Murren that looks at those very mountains.

But nothing in Murren matches the house.  The mountain view is it and you found the house too!

:carryon:

eta: the cheese task could be anywhere between Interlaken and Stechelberg, lots of hilly places along that route *stating the obvious*
