London – Satellite broadcaster BSkyB is launching a dedicated James Bond movie channel on October 5. Called Sky Movies 007, the channel will show 22 original Bond films in HD from Oct. 5 for a month, starting with the 1962 Bond film, Dr. No.

The channel’s launch comes ahead of the theatrical roll out of the latest James Bond film, Sam Mendes’ Skyfall.

“The Bond movies are a very special franchise and we want to ensure that our customers will be able to experience it in a way they’ve never been able to before, and so we’re going to create a dedicated channel Sky Movies 007 HD devoted entirely to James Bond showing the entire catalogue of films and loads of extra material,” said Ian Lewis, Director of Sky Movies.
