HENCHMEN
Irma Bunt (Ilse Steppat), Blofeld’s unflashy second-in-command – dull and doesn’t really do much.
IN ACTION

00 ASSESSMENT: 8 CONFIRMED KILLS
Favourite Making a chasing bad guy ski into a snowblower (“He had a lot of guts”).

SURVEILLANCE TRANSCRIPT
Blofeld “It will take more than a few props to turn 007 into Sir Hilary Bray, Baronet.”
Bond “And it’ll take more than cutting off your earlobes to turn you into a count, Blofeld.”
