And who should have been Bond?
I remember Rupert Everett saying that the role was his ‘birthright’, and that he was robbed of it due to homophobia in the US.
Who do you think would be good?

Idris Elba, Aiden Turner, Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Richard Maddern. Not a female, that would be soooooo wrong.

Rufus Sewell, but probably too old now. James Norton I think but there really isn't many to choose from.... sadly.

Aiden Turner would get my vote.
The only female I can see in the role is Angelina Jolie, but I don't want them to cast a woman, I can't come up with a suitable first name.

Colin Firth, Hugh Grant or as an outsider, what about Aljaž Škorjanec from Strictly?

I’m hoping for Tom Hardy.

Saw the new bond film on Saturday. Loved it, but I don’t think there will be another Bond, just a 007………..?

I wonder if this young man can act? He's certainly got the look.

Ooh, no. Not a woman. That's just wrong, wrong, wrong.

Nicholas Hoult’s photo is an eye opener!
Although he’s too old now, Greg Wise would have made a delicious Bond.
The Scottish actor, Derek Ridell has a certain je ne sais quoi, but his age is probably against him.
I’ll plump for Nicholas Hoult!

Theo James looks fabulous! He's tall, dark and handsome. Daniel Craig was never my idea of Bond.

I don't mind who becomes the next James Bond. I hated the thought of Daniel Craig being James Bond but he has been the best so far. I'm obviously not a good judge of who would be perfect for the part.
I wasn't expecting to like the latest Bond film but I absolutely loved it and I can't imagine how the franchise can top that.

I keep seeing actors who I think would fit the bill, so many though.
Not Idris, his time has passed and definitely not a female. Jamima, Jamesina Bond doesn't sound right.

Unfortunately Idris's time has been and gone.

I've just googled Theo James - yes he'll do!
