Saw that too..."James Bond's favourite car manufacturer" !

Shame to think they might have similar grasp of facts when it comes to other news subjects. Worrying, even. Perhaps it was just a lowly picture editor who has since been promoted.

I wonder how many BBC people spotted the problem but didn't say anything because admitting knowing the difference between a Sunbeam Alpine and an Aston DB5 would be a career limiting move.
