Other connections

Jason Kane also adopts a "Bond pose" on the cover of Deadfall by Gary Russell. Trading Futures by Lance Parkin uses a pastiche Bond movie poster look.File:Who, Doctor Who.jpgPeter Davidson and Nichola Bryant pose.
- Fans of both series 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 Fatal Death was shot in Pinewood Studios, famous for being the studios used for the James Bond films.
- Many Doctor Who guest actors have appeared in the Bond film series over the years, including Honor Blackman, Julian Glover, John Cleese, Samantha Bond, Burt Kwouk, Catherine Schell, Jeremy Bulloch, Philip Locke, David Yip, and Joanna Lumley; several others, including Bernard Cribbins and Dave Prowse, appeared in 1967's Casino Royale, a James Bond spoof not considered part of the main series of films. Rowan Atkinson and Pamela Salem (playing Miss Moneypenny) also appeared in 1983's Never Say Never Again, an independently made Bond film again not connected to the main series. Writer/script editor Gary Russell played a small role in Octopussy near the end of his career as a child/teen actor. Robert Jezek appeared as a police officer in the 2006 canonical version of Casino Royale.
- In the 1990s an animated series James Bond Jr. was produced. A series of novelisations based upon the show by "John Vincent" were published -- this was a pseudonym for Doctor Who novelist John Peel.
- Martin Shaw was once asked to put himself forward to play James Bond. In the interview in which he revealed this, he also noted that he would like to play the Doctor.[1]
