The channel, Sky Movies 007, will air all 22 Bond films sans advertisements for one month.The channel will launch on Oct. 5 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the release of the first Bond film, Dr. No. The 23rd addition to the franchise, Skyfall, premieres in the U.K. Oct. 26 and in the U.S. Nov. 9.
