Behind the scenes
References in non-canon media
In the novelisation Doctor Who and the Tenth Planet, Ben Jackson is viewing an unnamed James Bond film starring Roger Moore. In the original serial The Tenth Planet, he viewed an unidentified western film; at the time the serial was broadcast, Moore had not yet been cast as Bond, but he had made several films as 007 by the time the novelisation was written.
Off-screen connections
Significant connections
- Doctor Who as a television series and the James Bond film franchises (which had begun originally as a book series) share common ground in terms of longevity, with both being revived successfully after lengthy hiatuses.
- Timothy Dalton, who played Rassilon in TV: The End of Time played Bond. To date, no other actor to have played Bond in the film series has appeared on both Doctor Who or its spin-offs and as Bond. However, Michael Jayston played the character in a radio adaptation of You Only Live Twice in 1971 and was at one point considered for the role on film. Given that the Valeyard is an evil version of the Doctor from a possible future, Jayston is the only actor to play both James Bond and the Doctor to date. As listed below, numerous other actors have appeared in both franchises.
Other connections
- 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 the latter's debut as Peri Brown. 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 Davison and Nicola 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.
- 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]
