When you have a vague memory about a TV show or something, you should probably check YouTube.

The Spy Command 
Boy…I’ve never heard about that one !!!!
Btw , did you ever see the teaser gunbarrell with a Chimp produced for a GoldenEye film parody in 95′ ?
Cannot remember title of said movie , but have included the whole sequence in one of my 007 Tv reports of the times…
This is one of my faves! Just mentioned it in my Trench Coats review on Spy Vibe, but will definitely write up more in the future. I finally had a chance to officially welcome you as a fellow COBRAS member today on Spy Vibe 🙂
Best,
