This week he’s well up for some auction action in OCTOPUSSY.

Perhaps this is more welcome than the Jimmy Carr comparisons. Hope you're having a great day!

Happy birthday to Bond community icon @calvindyson.bsky.social! Calvin shares a birthday with Ben Whishaw, thus furthering my theory that the two were seperated at birth.

Many happy returns to Ben Whishaw who turns 45 today.

We don’t talk enough about Q’s portable tea set drawer - a nice throwaway gag from NO TIME TO DIE.

RIBbed for your pleasure: on this day 20 years ago Daniel Craig was revealed to the world's media as the new James Bond.

(Perhaps ironically, it was Royal Navy missiles which would eventually end up killing off his character.)

This account naturally tends to focus on Sir Roger Moore's awesome 007 tenure, but - on what would have been his 98th birthday - let's remember that in his later years he used his global profile to great effect as a UNICEF ambassador.

A true hero, much missed.

Skyfall quotes but out of context:

"Take the bloody shot."

Posse galore!

Has there been a Bond movie - or any movie for that matter - with a better collection of henchmen than LIVE AND LET DIE?

Pop open the bubbles, crank up the jacuzzi and tell Alexa to play some Tchaikovsky: A VIEW TO A KILL’s Fiona Fullerton was born on this day in 1956!

Many happy re-runs to FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE which received its world premiere on this day in 1963.

Sir Sean Connery called this his personal favorite of his Bond movies, but how does it rate for you?
