In 1964, the BBC broadcast a television documentary about Boothroyd's influence on Bond's weapons, entitled The Guns of James Bond. It was introduced by the Bond actor Sean Connery, filmed in costume on the set of Goldfinger, and featured demonstrations of the weapons by Boothroyd in his home and on a firing range. The documentary was later re-released on the Dr. No Ultimate Edition DVD and is available on the BBC website.
