The new 007

Just heard on the news that the latest JB film has been put back again. It’s now due for release next April.

Yes James Norton would be good, or Aiden Turner- but im sure Tom Hardy will give it all hes got, but he is more of a rough diamond i fear, than the others before him.

Had to come back to say yes to Joe Lycett, what fun that would be.

Tom Hardy is ideal, rugged, good looking, not too pretty or smooth, and fit. And he's a great actor.

I would nominate Rupert Friend. He was in Homeland as Peter Quinn. It was a sad day when he wasn’t in it any more. For those of you who haven’t seen Homeland, the entire 6 or 7 series are on Netflix. It’s fab!

I found him rather annoying on the Sewing Bee but saw him on a charity version of Tipping Point and he was lovely.

He could be the second spoof James Bond!

Joe Lycett ?

Rowan Atkinson would be my choice, in his Mr Bean persona.

Did you see the Casino Royale parody with Peter Sellars?

DH dragged me took me to the cinema to see it - I think he thought it would be serious (well, as serious as any Bond film can be).
It was very funny.

I thought it had been announced that Henry Cavill had got the role. But Aiden Turner would have had my vote, if there had been a shortlist that the public could have voted for. That would have pleasently whiled away some time during lockdown. James Bond films may be a bit formulaic, but they are usually entertaining. And A great British export. Quite looking forward to seeing what impact Phoebe Waller Bridge has had on the female roles in the next new Bond film due out next month.

Don't like JB films but if they chose Tom Burke [Cormoran Strike], I could change my mind. I could watch him in anything.

Henry Cavill

Rowan Atkinson would be my choice, in his Mr Bean persona.

James Norton is too good for James Bond. Like a few others here, I think Bond is utter rubbish.

One of my sons thinks as I do, the other son has loved the books and films since he was 12. My late husband would have had no interest in either the books or the films..

Another vote for Aiden Turner

James Norton for me.

It's no use. I just can't care.

I'm trying!

But after Pierce Brosnan it all went wrong

Idris Elba or Aiden Turner

4allweknow I couldn’t have understood Taboo without the assistance of subtitles though I don’t know whether that was down to Tom Hardy or the sound engineers on the programme.

Pierce Brosnan was my favourite Bond but I couldn’t care less if they never made another Bond film. The world has changed and I can’t imagine how they could ever make it pc enough to pass ‘woke’ censorship.

Tom who?

I must be v out of touch, as I don't know of this actor.

I can see James Naughton in the Bond role as I think he is an intelligent (as in making good use of his face and body - not his IQ!) actor.

Sean Connery had gone to school with a neighbour when I was growing up, when he got the freedom of Edinburgh all his old friends were invited.
My parents neighbour had become a Baker in the Co-op and Sean a milkman.
Only 007 for me.

Tom Hardy for me every time.

Of several mentioned I think James Norton and Tom Ward are perfect looking 007 English men and Aiden Turner would fit the part too.

I stopped watching Doctor Who after a few episodes of Jodie Whittaker and I have never before missed a series. It wasn’t because it was a woman but the scripts were dire. Regarding JB I agree Tom Hardy is too small and mumbles. It would be James Norton for me, he would be suave like Roger Moore.

Ampersand oh yes... Armie Hammer... I’ve got a big crush on him ?. Was fab in ‘Call Me By Your Name’ and I’ve seen a trailer for a remake of ‘Rebecca’ coming soon that also looks very good!
