9th December 2017

Last night we made the mistake of watching For Your Eyes Only, possibly the worst Bond film ever. Apart from a stellar cheesy theme song, everything about the film is unlikeable. And Roger Moore is old, creepy, and definitely should have been moving on to his post-Bond "ironic guest star" phase by then.

Which just goes to show that this piano book's title isn't necessarily true ...


Another person who didn't find the role easy to play was Adam's favourite Bond, George Lazenby. Australian by birth, his performance in "On His Majesty's Secret Service" divided fans, and he never starred in a Hollywood movie again. After filming he said, "Bond is a brute ... I've already put him behind me. I will never play him again. Peace – that's the message now."

Here's a fan art drawing of Lazenby by Jeff York, who has drawn all the Bonds at http://theestablishingshot.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/the-best-of-bond-you-dont-know.html



And here he is with his own waxwork, at the typically low-rent Madame Tussaud's in Hollywood.
