Dalton isn't Welsh; he had an Derbyshire accent.

Yes that’s true, they’re adaptations to some extent already. The ideas for settings and set pieces are always very original though, and I’d say something like the last act of SF would stand out as being significantly unlike anything else if it were …

Yes Forever and A Day has some of the more original ideas and feels a bit more of a story for Bond than most. I do think most of the films have more interesting plots than most books though: if, say, TWINE had been a novel I think we'd be crying out…

Oh yes I forgot about GoldenEye; I was thinking of 007 Legends where someone else did a (really good) impersonation of his voice.

It’s quite fun to think which continuation novel/game/comic you’d adapt into a film if you had to pick from one or two.

Ed Speelers did an enjoyable turn as a sort of 1930s take on a Bondish character in the second Famous Five film on BBC One today. I don’t think he should be Bond or anything but I just mention in passing for folks who like that sort of thing. De…

Yes, you may be right there. A bit like how the official DVD docos said that although Brosnan was the first signed up for TLD, Dalton was the one they really wanted even before him.

Ms Broccoli is on record as saying that they had their minds set on Craig and the studio made them look at other actors, to be fair.

No matter how good you think someone might be, with that amount of money at risk you would want to be completely 100% certain. Making them pop a dinner suit on and play a scene is no trouble at all comparatively and yet completely essential.

Haha! Sounds like a very memorable day; fun memories. The one thing that still stays with me from the Ian Fleming centenary thing was that Paul McCartney sent a recorded message which they played on the screen, and he ended his little speech with…

That's fun (apart from it being a memorial of course!); I've seen them separately but never together :) I think Tim just edges it as tallest, doesn't he? Slightly surprisingly as well; he doesn't look like a massive guy.

B24 is still open too- maybe there are various earnings from the film they have to address even years after it being released. Just looking through their appointments and I see James Higgins was only removed from being a director of Eon in 2021, …

I got my LaLaLALD last week (do we have a thread for that?) and although there's perhaps not as much totally fresh music on it as OP thanks to the '03 release, the sound quality is the real star here- it sounds like they're in the room with you. Abs…

Craig had the DB10, which I liked a lot (although the CR DBS is probably 'his' car), and Brosnan had the Z8, which I think is his signature one (even though the Vanquish was cooler).
