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.
References
- Fitz Kreiner imitated the character on numerous occasions. (EDA: Demontage)
- According to one account of the First Doctor's final adventure, Ben Jackson, a man from the mid-1960s, viewed a Bond film starring Roger Moore in 1986 (DWN: Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet); however another account says Jackson actually viewed an unidentified western film (DW: The Tenth Planet). Although Moore had not taken on the role of Bond when the serial was first broadcast in 1966, he had already made two Bond films by the time author Gerry Davis' novelisation was published in 1976.
- Jo Grant, who supposedly worked for UNIT as a secret agent, complained that contrary to the beliefs of her family and friends, her real life involved much more drudgery than the glamorized life of James Bond. (DW: Frontier in Space)
- When the Tenth Doctor and Martha Jones went to attend Lazarus' experiment, Martha commented that the Doctor looked like James Bond due to his decision to wear a black-tie tuxedo for the occasion. (DW: The Lazarus Experiment)
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 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.
- The Doctor Who and James Bond film franchises share common ground in terms of longevity, with both being revived successfully after lengthy hiatuses.
