receives its orders at his place (as in the first episode, Dr. No) and not with the MI6
does not wear a hat
does not smoke of cigarettes, but of the cigars (the contract of Roger Moore allowed him an unlimited access to of Montecristo rolled to the hand, that cost the production more than 3000 pounds sterling of the time).
