Daniel Craig has been spotted looking very dapper as SPECTRE filming continues.

The actor is making his fourth appearance as Sir Ian Fleming's literary spy in the upcoming movie, and the crew are working hard as they shoot scenes in London.

In these new snaps, James Bond is seen in a sharp suit as he has a meeting with Eve Moneypenny, who is played by Naomie Harris.

In other pictures, Craig is sporting a stylish pair of shades and looking a little shift as he moves around the capital.

Meanwhile, Westminster is under attack in the new blockbuster and it looks like SPECTRE may even be blowing up BIG BEN.

In the previous film the MI6 Headquarters along the banks of the river was blown up and the spy organisation used a temporary HQ below the London underground.

But now it looks like the terrorists are making a symbolic attack on one of London's most famous landmarks.

Filming from the spy's 24th adventure also saw a speedboat speed down the Thames during a thrilling helicopter chase.

A filming notice sent to residents informed them of the shoot, with Lambeth Bridge being closed to traffic and pedestrians for chunks of the night.

'My greatest weakness is probably my inability to say no'

Not a lot of people know this but I’m very good at… Gyrotonic, which I’m obsessed with. It’s a mixture of yoga, Pilates and qigong and you do it on a machine – I have my own at home. It’s great at strengthening and lengthening the body. 

My best friend is… difficult to name. I have a handful of best friends who I’ve known for years and they’re dotted all over. It’s a real privilege to have them in my life, as it means there’s always someone at the end of the phone.

My nickname is… Nainai, which is what all my family call me. I love my name being shortened – I think it’s really sweet.

The bravest thing I’ve ever done is… probably gone to drama school. I was in a situation where I had to support myself through university, using the money I’d made acting as a child from the age of nine, so when it came to drama school there was nothing left. I couldn’t get any funding as I’d already been to university but I didn’t listen to anybody who said I couldn’t do it.

Instead I wrote 250 letters to charitable organisations and I turned up at drama school with a loan of £3,000 from my uncle, which was all the money in the world that I had. I didn’t know how I was going to last the two years or pay the fees and I think that is incredibly brave now I look back at it.

Luckily it all worked out, because the first day I turned up at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, the bursar called me into his office and one of the charities had sent £1,000, then every couple of months another from a different charity turned up. It was just fate and being fearless, I managed to get through.

My perfect evening… would involve a movie – I’m obsessed with films. Going to the cinema with a loved one is my idea of heaven. It’s why I’m involved in the Meerkat Movies two-for-one offer because it allows you to go to the cinema with someone you’re close to. 

My first kiss was… during an acting exercise when I was about 13. We were doing an improvisation and one of the other kids kissed me. I’d never kissed anyone, so it was so shocking for me and I didn’t know what to say. It was too public!

My biggest regret is… choosing the builders that I hired to do up my flat – they were shoddy and awful. I said that to someone recently and they said, “Well you’ve obviously lived a very sheltered life,” and I have to agree.

The one thing I’d change about myself is… that I’m not very patient. It seeps into all areas of my life.

The best thing my mother taught me was… that anything is possible with hard work. If every child was taught that, we’d have a completely different world. 

The last time I cried was… Well, I cry all the time. Everything makes me cry – my friends’ children giving me a hug, a sunset, beautiful gardens, even the cheesiest of movies or adverts! I’m very emotional so always on the verge of tears – my friends find it very amusing. 

The first record I ever bought was… a Michael Jackson one. I was obsessed with him. It was probably Ben, which is still my favourite of his.

It’s not good for my image but I like… musicals. I just heard about the Sound Of Music sing-along in Leicester Square and it sounds like my idea of heaven, so I’m definitely planning to go. There’s something so moving about music coupled with emotion. I can’t sing or dance, otherwise I’d want to be making them myself.

My greatest weakness is… probably my inability to say no. It often gets me into trouble, as I’ll say yes to all sorts of things I really don’t want to be doing and find it difficult to then get out of. I’m stronger in work – it’s my personal life where I find it much more difficult.

If I could pass any law I would… reintroduce Sunday as a complete non-working day. With all the technology we have, people find it really difficult to stop and be with their loved ones and just breathe and smell the roses. Everyone would be at home with their family and go for walks – no shopping or business or anything.

I drive… my friend’s car, as I don’t have my own.

The shop I can’t walk past is… any health food shop. I love anything that’s healthy and nourishing. I’m obsessed by coconut yoghurt at the moment as an alternative to dairy.

The most expensive thing I’ve ever splashed out on is… a coat. I’m really sensitive to the cold as I’m skin and bones, so whenever it’s cool I really feel it. It is quilted and super warm. It was about £2,000, which is more than I’ve ever spent on a single piece of clothing, but it has lasted me seven years. I bought it in Canada where I was filming at the time.

My perfect Sunday… would involve my family or friends coming over, having food together and watching a movie or going to the cinema.

My favourite place in Britain is… the countryside in general. I love to get out of London to find fields and meadows then walk for hours. The English countryside is stunning. It’s one of the benefits of us having so much rain – we get these lush fields. 

My last holiday was… to Thailand. I went for two weeks at Christmas and ended up staying nearly two months. I went to Ko Samui and did a seven-day fast and then went to Chiang Mai to do a tai chi course and finally I went to Pai. I went on my own and had an incredible experience where I met so many new people.

It taught me that we’re so much more connected and so much more protected than we realise and when you fling yourself on life in this free way, everything works out and you’re always taken care of.

I’m currently reading… The Top Ten Things Dead People Want To Tell You by Mike Dooley. It’s such a great book – it reminds you that on the whole, life is incredible, and reading it has made me feel so much happier.

If I had half an hour left on Earth… I would definitely spend it with my family and best friends and tell them all how much I loved them. And there would have to be good food, too.

Daniel Craig looks brooding as Bond as he's joined by leggy Naomie Harris in a demure blue dress on the set of new film Spectre

Filming for 007 blockbuster Spectre has been taking place around the globe.

But on Saturday Daniel Craig and his co-star Naomie Harris were back on home turf as they filmed in London.

The 47-year-old actor spent the morning working on scenes near Westminster Abbey for the hotly-anticipated movie, which is due to be released in November.

Sharp: The actor looked exactly how you would expect Bond to look in a sharp dark suit and grey tie

In typical Bond fashion, Daniel looked smart in a long dark jacket, grey tie and white shirt.  

At one point he shot a stern look across the square they were filming in before popping on a pair of dark sunglasses.

He was joined by Naomie, who looked stunning in a demure blue dress.

The actress, who stars as Eve Moneypenny, teamed the look with a pair of bright blue heels.  

Co-star: He was joined by Naomie, who looked stunning in a demure blue dress as she carried a black box

Great look: The knee-length number really showed off the actress's slim figure and she kept her make-up natural

Classic: The Bond star looked like he was concentrating as filming commenced near Westminster Abbey in London

All alone? At one point Daniel stepped out to film tense scenes by himself, with Naomie joining him later

She looked happy and professional as she carried a black box during filming. 

In between shots, the 38-year-old made sure she kept warm in an oversized puffer coat.

Naomie's appearance comes after she was spotted with Ralph Fiennes - who will play M - filming last weekend.

Intense: The stars chatted in between takes, with Naomie opting to wear an oversized puffer coat to keep out the cold

Important: Although Daniel kept his back to the camera, Naomie's face suggested the conversation was serious

Pensive: The actress looked lost in thought as she made her way back out from under the shelter to restart filming

Proud: Spectre director Sam Mendes gave Daniel a hug during a break on Saturday morning

Suave: At one point he covered a smouldering glare with a pair of dark sunglasses as he chatted to Sam

While the production has been based at London's Pinewood Studios, it has also been shot on location in Mexico City, Rome and Morocco.

Austrian towns Obertilliach, Lake Altaussee and Sölden will also feature in the spy movie. 

The film is sticking close to the tried and tested Bond format, with the official synopsis on IMDb revealing: 'A cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organisation.

Animated: The 47-year-old looked like he had lots of suggestions as he had a discussion with the director

Grey day: Not even the weather could disappoint the actor, who carried on talking underneath a shelter

Keeping warm: Sam made sure he could stay outside to watch the action by wearing a black cap and thick coat

'While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE.'

SPECTRE stands for Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion.

The film is due to be released in the UK in November 2015.

Naomie Harris interview: The James Bond star on playing Winnie Mandela, fitting in at Cambridge and singalong Sound of Music nights

The British actress is best known for playing Moneypenny in the most recent Bond film, 'Skyfall', and Winnie Mandela in 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom'

OSCAR QUINE  

Saturday 16 May 2015

So who's your favourite James Bond?

Of course it's got to be Daniel. I really do think he's amazing. To come in and to reinvent the whole way that we see Bond, to add a modern twist, and to make us fall in love with the character in a different way is, I think, a huge achievement and he deserves credit for that. He is the ultimate Bond.

I heard you started the rumour that Idris Elba was next in line to play 007...

No, that is not true! Do you know what happened? A journalist said to me, 'You've just finished working with Idris Elba on Mandela, do you think he'd make a great Bond?' And I said, 'Yeah, absolutely, I think he would.' And then the headline is 'Naomie says Idris Elba to be next Bond'.

What do you think about all the fuss over having a black Bond?

I hope we get to the point where we're not saying, 'are we going to have a black Bond?' That's not the point. The point is to have somebody who fills the shoes of Bond in the way they should be filled. He's this iconic character and whoever fits, whatever colour they are, it doesn't matter. It's about their characteristics, their charisma, their humour and their physicality as well – to be able to perform all those stunts. So whoever that is, I say good luck to them.

You've spoken before about coming from a working-class background and struggling to fit in at Cambridge. What led you to apply?

I had this incredible teacher called Mr Murdoch who I will forever be indebted to. He took me under his wing and mentored me in this incredible way. It really taught me about the power of teachers. They can change the direction of a child's life and they deserve so much more credit than they get.

What's your favourite film?

I think, embarrassingly, it would be The Sound of Music. I'm obsessed with musicals. I've watched it about 30 times. In fact, there was a singalong recently in Leicester Square and I was so tempted to go...

I couldn't think of anything worse!

I won't have to fight you for tickets, then.

They're all yours. Have you ever done any musical theatre?

No, I have the world's most awful voice. It's such a shame because if I could sing, I would be doing musicals without a doubt. I just love them. But I can't, and I can't dance. So there's no hope for me.

What's at the top of your CV?

I'm really proud of playing Winnie Mandela and of the movie as a whole. I feel that was the best work that I've done so far. I really am very proud of representing this extraordinary moment in history. To go back to South Africa for the premiere and to turn around at the end and see them all in tears and so thankful to us for having represented so faithfully their experiences, that was a real honour.

What would you have done if you hadn't become an actress?

I never had a plan B. I just went gung-ho into acting. I started when I was nine, so I never experienced any such thing as unemployment. I actually got everything that I went up for as a child – I never experienced rejection. I just assumed that the adult profession would be the same. I never had a back-up plan, but if there were anything I would do, I would write or be an architect.
