Charles Gray narrating pyramid theatre


Always found it odd Charles wasn't credited for narrating the pyramid theatre scene in Egypt in The Spy Who Loved Me yet had already appeared as Henderson in You Only Live Twice and Blofeld in Diamonds Are Forever.

Anyone able to confirm why this was the case?

It rather does sound like Charles Gray. Is there anyone out there who knows the name of the narrator? Inquiring James Bond fans minds would like to know?

just saw this again, to me that does not sound like charles gray, unless he changed his voice for the part, what an amazing stunt in the opening, i didn't think anything of it when i was a kid, i was on this board earlier today calling this a bit of a drag, man was i wrong, this hits off from the start (only the end drags on), though can i just say this movie has the ugliest most forgettable poster / cover of all bond flicks, you can't even tell it's moore and they are "zoomed out", it has one of the greatest soundtracks though, actually all bond soundtracks are good, but the one to this is very diverse where "thunderball", as the most obvious example, where many tracks sound the same, it was also done in record speed as the rest of that movie as they were under time pressure, think of that, i don't watch the new bond movies but i think it's like five years between every flick when they used to make one every other year, every year in the beginning (1960s), "at universal, we used to shoot one or two scenes a day, but eddie can knock off twenty, thirty" (ed wood, 1994), there is a lot of great music in this movie not featured on the cd, and it isn't exactly packed, many other bond cd's run longer with far more tracks. many think moore's movies are clownish, but these villains with their gimmicks and so has been there from the start with dr. no, this even has a circus tune in it though, when driving through the desert. it can't be a coincidence the guy at the beginning look so much like bond, it's almost as to fool the viewers for a while a new guy is in the part. the girl getting shot early on looks like hazel court, i've never seen a bond movie with so many giant boobs in, and i'm not talking about jaws. i can't believe bond does a body slam in this.

how you feel right now,
a darkened sky a worried mind,
shaky destination to strive,
i got saved on this ground,
so lucky the true path i found,
ease your burden travel in light.
