Re: Bond...James Bond

No doubt the next James Bond will be a female.

Really?...You have no doubt with a name like James (traditionally a mans name)

Nudge nudge, wink wink

I believe that there is some irony which is not quite apparent...

Seems Barbara brocolli wanted to see the series take a swerve, since she took the reigns from Cubby the series has lost a lot of the silliness

Re: Bond...James Bond

He also played secret agent Quiller in the series of that name in 1975 for the BBC.

Wicked theme tune!

Jane ran parallel with Tarzan if you know what I mean.

On a tangent, there is a sports presenter on the BBC called James Bond - that is his real name. I assume that his name pre-dates the films.

Re: Bond...James Bond

Maybe Jane bond could run parallel with James bond but could never replace him, that would be silly

Raf Ravenscroft played the sax solo

The Bob Holness story was invented by Stuart Maconie

Courtesy of wikipedia.....Radio career
In 1955, he received his first job as a radio presenter and, a year later, became the second actor to portray James Bond (after Barry Nelson in the 1954 TV special Casino Royale) in a radio production of Moonraker for the SABC's Springbok Radio.[2][3][5]

Yes he did. For some reason, I often think that regarding Bob Holness, I assumed that some people would have put the James Bond on the radio acting thing in the same category as the Baker Street saxophone one. I blame Stuart Maconie myself - of course the American version of Blockbusters was presented by a Bill Rafferty - that is what he was probably confusing it with. I don't think that it is cryptic. Anyway, back on topic...

I wonder if we will ever see a Jane Bond in the future? There will be a female Doctor Who so...

Re: Bond...James Bond

Yes he did, but he did not play saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street - that was someone else of course.

Cryptic to the max!

He was also Peter Guillam in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but was unavailable for Smiley's People.

Re: Bond...James Bond

I think Michael Jayston played 007 in a BBC radio adaption of one of the novels.

He also played secret agent Quiller in the series of that name in 1975 for the BBC.

Yes he did, but he did not play saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street - that was someone else of course.
