Jaguar Land Rover's bid to plug the new Defender and make it possibly the best known thing on Planet Earth after air and sky continues with the release of a new video showing the vehicle in extreme action on the set of the new Bond film <em>No Time To Die</em>. In the clip, a trio of modified earth crushers tears up the English countryside in a manner more undignified than any group of British football fans intent on a pitch invasion ever could. Whether 007 himself is at the wheel, or a group of decidedly unpleasant adversaries isn't clear, but whoever is inside is likely to have needed a bit of Savlon and a few sticking plasters after filming, if not a sling or two. In reality, the chase sequence was led by stunt coordinator Lee Morrison, working alongside action vehicles supervisor Chris Corbould. Also present was Jessica Hawkins, a driver recruited from Formula 3's W Series to take part in the filming of <em>No Time To Die</em>. Try not to get too tearful if one or more of the on-screen Defenders gets a hammering though, it's bound to happen. Remember what happened to that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-21uPJGXFQ">Aston Martin DBS V12</a> in <em>Casino Royale</em>? Could be worse this time round. The film will be released globally from April 2, 2020.
