"Rewards Night"

A night at the opera.

DAVID thinks 'Quantum of Solace' gets a bad rap. It's no 'Casino Royale', but it works as a direct sequel to perhaps the worst day of James Bond's life. It also features a brilliant scene where Daniel Craig infiltrates a performance of 'Tosca' and eavesdrops on members of Quantum.

We like to think it inspired this MoneySuperMarket commercial, with Judi Dench still in charge of a crack team of experts. They must find a member of the backstage crew, terminate him with extreme prejudice, and—wait, that's the wrong mission objective. Abort!

The real, non-lethal goal is to pass on rewards that are exclusive to SuperSaveClub members. Both the stunts and set design in the lead-up are spot-on, but Dench has the most fun as a boss who never lets her team savour victory for too long. "Break a leg!" rounds off a lovely nod to Dench's life on stage.
