Honor Blackman is to make a guest appearance in the new series of Casualty this weekend.
Blackman, who starred as Pussy Galore in the James Bond film Goldfinger, plays a pensioner called Agatha in the BBC One show.
Agatha ends up in hospital after being hit by a bicycle and reveals to the hospital staff that she has a past which includes driving ambulances in African warzones. She will also make an impression on paramedic Dixie.
Casualty executive producer Oliver Kent said: "We've had a long history of famous guest appearances but never a Bond girl.
"Honor plays a fantastically witty and charming character on a mission."
The new series also sees the arrival of two new characters - a trainee doctor called Lily Chao, played by Crystal Yu, and a nurse called Rita Freeman, played by Chloe Howman.
The new series of Casualty airs Saturday, August 3 at 9.10pm on BBC One.

Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives (12A)
(Apitchatpong Weerasethakul, 2010, Thai/UK/Fra/Spa/Ger/Neth) Thanapat Saisaymar, Jenjira Pongpas, Sakda Kaewbuadee. 113 mins
Not for nothing was this dubbed "Uncle bong hit" when it took the top prize at Cannes this year. With its non-linear plot and fantastical elements – ghosts, ape-men, talking catfish, etc – woven into a story of a dying farmer in modern-day Thailand, it sounds like a far-out 1960s head-trip. But in reality (if that's the right word), it's a calm, sensual, captivating daydream of a movie that wears its weirdness without affectation. It makes the world feel like a rich and mysterious place. More of a natural high, then.
Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I (12A)
(David Yates, 2010, UK/Us) Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint. 146 mins
Given the choice between giving their audience a treat and milking them as much as possible,...
