  13. The Answer To Teh Most Important Question by thevil · · Score: 0, Redundant · on Britain's MI6 Opens Its First Website

    How realistic is the depiction of SIS in the James Bond films?

    James Bond, as Ian Fleming originally conceived him was based on reality. But any author needs to inject a level of glamour and excitement beyond reality in order to sell. By the time the filmmakers focused on Bond the gap between truth and fiction had already widened. Nevertheless, staff who join SIS can look forward to a career that will have moments when the gap narrows just a little and the certainty of a stimulating and rewarding career which, like Bond's, will be in the service of their country.

  14. SIS is their name - but URL is mi6 by daveb · · Score: 4, Insightful · on Britain's MI6 Opens Its First Website

    I wonder why they use the domain name mi6.gov.uk when they make such a big deal of their REAL name being SIS, with Mi6 being mostly a movie thing

  16. SIS and James Bond by CreateWindowEx · · Score: 4, Interesting · on Britain's MI6 Opens Its First Website
    After reading about how the head of SIS (A.K.A. MI6) was called "C", I figured that surely at some point they would refer to James Bond on the site somewhere. When I found it, I was a little surprised that they didn't say the film had no basis in reality. I guess they're hoping to use the connection to help recruiting...
