I know.  I hate myself for it but there it is.  I also support any team, even the French, playing the Boks.  Can't explain it.

Who is the best James Bond, and why is it Daniel Craig?

Obviously it is Sean Connery since he defined the role. I'll allow that Craig is second having far outdistanced the pack (although David Niven gets an honorable mention)

David Niven FTW! :)

We need Native American paratroops, complete with tipi chute, in the sci-fi range! ;D ;D ;D

George Lazenby! Anyone pick up his role in Gettysburg?

The correct order is a) Sean Connery, b) everyone else.

If you want to break it down further b1) Brosnan & Dalton b2) Lazenby b99) Moore and Woodentop Craig*.

Special mention to David Niven.


*I really can't abide Woodentop Craig. He made "Cowboys and Aliens" boring - and it had Olivia Wilde and Harrison Ford in it!

And this, Gentlemen, is how know Nobby has a very slender grip on reality.

He probably denies Capaldi is the best Doctor.

Regrettably, Capaldi was given horrible scripts - and Nardole.  Not enough scenery chewing for my liking.

Thing about Dr Who's is that each one is different; each actor can make the role their own, whereas with Bond those following Connery copied his template with varying degrees of success.* 




*Except Roger Moore, whose stint as Bond should be put in the same category as Adam West as Batman.

Hmmmm . . . Dalton probably is as an actor. Trouble is his films were still of the Moore-era self-parody, so were consequently total sh*t.

Contensious I know, but worst Bond film has the worst Bond, On Her Majesty's Secret Service - which also has the best end theme.
