The Bond films have entertained, excited and sometimes irritated cinemagoers (and ITV4 viewers) for more than fifty years, inspiring awe and adoration around the world for the inimitable 007 – Her Majesty's most incorrigible spy. After all, who hasn't wanted to kick a big bloke with metal teeth in the groin? Fly a small plane out of a pretend horse's bottom? Or push a middle-aged man into space? No one, that's who. In 007's world of sexy espionage, there are international criminal organisations to infiltrate, henchmen to outsmart and endless one-liners to crack. This unofficial dossier of Bond's best moments is an affectionately irreverent take on the spine-tingling highs and jaw-dropping lows of the greatest (and sometimes worst) spy in movie history. So fire up the Aston Martin DB5, dust off your jetpack and ask Moneypenny to hold your calls – John Rain is taking us on a journey through each of the twenty-four films to date.

A solid link in the long, winding chain of the national DNA. A friend on bank holidays, flourishing among the war movies, Carry On films and The Two Ronnies specials. 007 has been a companion to an entire generation of children who were raised on Sean flinging a hat into the bars of Fort Knox, George telling us it never happened to the other fella and Roger skiing off a mountain. He was a window into the world during a time when the world was less travelled. Who needed to go abroad when you could watch James Bond do it instead? People either wanted to be him or be with him. He had the best cars, the best clothes, the best watches and, at times, magic powers. He could drive, fly, glide, sail, hover or swim anywhere, and could outsmart the very smartest around. His only weakness was, it turned out, appalling misogyny.When Ian Fleming sat down and decided to turn his insider knowledge of the highly dangerous and exciting world of espionage into a book, he would have had no idea that he was about to create an icon. The places Bond would go, the things he would see – all stemmed directly from Fleming’s pen. The tragedy was that he died during the making of Goldfinger, and therefore never got to see the boob-zoom bit from Octopussy, which he would no doubt have appreciated.
