A crew member working on the new James Bond film has been hurt during the filming of an explosion.

The makers of the film – which has been plagued by problems – said no one was injured on set but a crew member outside the stage suffered "a minor injury".

The injured crew member was crushed by part of the set which fell on him, the newspaper said.
