Join Rupert Carmichael and Mr. 007 himself, George Lazenby, in an eight-episode series investigating the Tux, Talk, Tech and ‘Tini of each legendary actor who once called himself Bond, James Bond.

    002. Sean Connery

    The King of the One-Liner. The Eyebrows from Edinburgh. The British rogue with the Scottish brogue. A man who once famously said never say never again.

    EPISODE 3

    003. George Lazenby

    The model. The anomalous adventurer. The only Bond who was a bloke. Our own George Lazenby burst from obscurity into the throws of espionage and the world was never the same. Number of Bond films to his name? Just one. But that was all he needed to take the franchise from Down Under, to Over the Top.

  4. 004. Roger Moore

    EPISODE 4

    004. Roger Moore

    The classic Brit. The blithe Bond. If Connery brought the swagger, it was Roger Moore who brought the smile. His jubilant approach to playing the iconic secret agent was—and is—a controversial interpretation of the role. With seven outings as Bond, he became the spy many loved to the Moonraker and back, and many...did not.

    EPISODE 5

    005. Timothy Dalton

    The iconoclast intimidator. The stalwart spy. The killer Welsh. Timothy Dalton harkened back to literary inspiration for a Bond that would scare the living daylights out of his foes, and stir the hearts of his fans. In the pantheon of Bond, Dalton’s stay may have been short, but he surely earned his license to thrill.

    EPISODE 6

    006. Pierce Brosnan

    Tall, dark and deadly. The tech-savvy sleuth. Debonair style from the Eyre Isle. Pierce Brosnan’s suave diction and smooth operations earned him a place in the crosshairs amongst his fellow MI6 admirables. This storied stage master’s tenure as 007 ushered in a new era for the franchise, and continually ensured that Bond would live another day.

  7. 007. Daniel Craig

    EPISODE 7

    007. Daniel Craig

    The bad boy. The blonde Bonde. The stoic sleuth with the steely blues. Daniel Craig may be the newest addition to the Bond name, but in terms of making his mark on the franchise, he’s certainly no spectre. His films have boldly reinterpreted the origins of 007 and modernized the story for a new generation.
