James Bond

James Bond was a fictional secret agent created by author Ian Fleming in the mid-20th century. Some 50 novels chroncling the character's exploits were written by Fleming and others over the next 50 years, and the character was featured in a long-running series of motion pictures from the early 1960s.

Behind the Scenes

 * During location filming at Lanzarote for Planet of Fire, Peter Davison posed for publicity photos for Planet of Fire with a prop gun and tuxedo with a bikini-clad Nicola Bryant by his side, in a classically Bond-like pose, to announce her debut as Peri Brown. Jason Kane also adopts a "Bond pose" on the cover of Deadfall by Gary Russell.
 * Fans have jokingly speculated that Bond may be a Time Lord as he changes his appearance every few years. In the trailer to GoldenEye (though not in the film itself), Pierce Brosnan's first words as Bond, "You were expecting someone else?", echo the Sixth Doctor's first words after his regeneration in the last few moments of The Caves of Androzani.
 * The end of the pre-title sequence of On Her Majesty's Secret Service has Bond (George Lazenby) saying, "This never happened to the other fella", referring to the previous Bond actor Sean Connery, indicating that the secret agent could be a Time Lord and the only time the series broke the "fourth wall" (aside from Connery winking at the audience at the end of the unofficial movie Never Say Never Again).
 * The Curse of the Fatal Death the Comic Relief special episodes were shot in Pinewood Studios, famous for being the studios used for the James Bond films.
