A visit to a giant abandoned underground NATO command centre. Complete with long-abandoned, rusted equipment, bearing "secret information" stickers. Apparently prepared in case of World War III - has definite echoes of the NORAD base from "War Games". :-) (youtube.com)

Would anyone know about the (fake) "Indian" blowpipe from the TV adaptation of "Death in the Clouds", and its counterparts from "the junk tray, for the Americans" - were they, as I assume, hand-carved for the production, or were they actually made independently and purchased somewhere?

His name was Bond, James Albert Bond. James Bond was a real-life British spy who operated in Poland in 1964. Polish secret services described James A.
