A little bit of Bond trivia, a gentleman called Geoffrey Boothroyd, who is an author specialising in books about guns, wrote to Ian Flemming after the first Bond book was published and told him that Bond wouldnt have used a revolver as described by Flemming. A long correspondence ensued and the upshot was that Bond ended up with his Walther PPK. I have seen the picture sent to Geoffrey that is signed, with the comment, To Geoffrey Boothroyd armourer to James Bond. Flemming also named Q after him.
Also, I was under the impression that Desmond Llwelyn had died in a mysterious car crash in his nineties.

Having been watching Poldark for some weeks now I still feel that if Daniel Craig were to walk away from Bond, the lead actor Aidan Turner would be a perfect James Bond. He has the young Sean Connery about him, he certainly has the body that women love to see(you only have to see the tweets from women wanting him to remove his shirt all the time) and would be good in action fight scenes.

A head-on crash, according to this BBC story from 1999: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/571888.stm

It'scbeen 7 years since the death of actor Joseph Wiseman. Dr No was an underrated villain and Wiseman made the most of his limited screen time. RIP.

The crash was on a country road whilst he was on his way home, at night and in early December, I believe. It was frosty and his car skidded on ice, hitting a tree.

His last scene in TWINE is one of the saddest scenes in the Bond series. He gives Bond some advice on surviving a mission, before disappearing in the snooker table lift, never to be seen again.

RIP Desmond. The best Q in the series.

It is interesting to read that Mexico had a parade for their Day of the Dead yet according to what I read this is a new thing because up until the Bond film, SPECTRE, they didn't have a parade, so this inspired them-that must be a first but not the only Bond film to feature a parade (Thunderball has the Junko in the Bahamas and 'The Spy Who Loved Me' has the parade in Brazil) Any others?

There's a Rio carnival scene in Moonraker. It has Jaws, dressed up as a clown. That was a creepy moment.
