RIP

On the bright side, we might get a few decent films on TV over the next couple of weeks as tributes are paid to him.

The old 007 films based on the books are definitely a lot better then the rubbish pumped out in recent years to capitalise on the franchise.

They are, Lex.

Incidentally, the BBC were saying that he was the first big screen Bond. I always thought it was David Niven?

Didn't David Niven do a rip off of Casino Royale? The Beeb may not have included it.

He did, Lex. But I thought it was before Connery's appearance?
