Well Bond has not just been played on a movie screen!
Probably the first Bond was played by Bob Holnes, a famous UK presenter, in a 1956 South African radio production of Moonraker.

The head of the Brit secret service during/before WW2 was code named "C." (I just saw it in the History Channel, to confirm. AND we all know how unquestionably accurate those shows are:rolleyes: .)

The way it's always sorta been treated in the books and in the movies is that M is a title (as is Q), I think the fact that it's also an initial is either a nod to the gentleman from WWII (as mentioned above), or just intended to be a happy coincidence...

If I remember correctly, M was based on Sir Miles Messervy, head of MI6 when Fleming started writing the Bond books.

And in the David Niven/Woody Allen Casino Royale, M was Lord McTarry.
It's been years since I've seen it, but didn't Niven wear a kilt in one of the Scottish segments? Or maybe I'm thinking of M's funeral - there was a bit of tartan there.

I worked on a few shows for the History Channel... and from a behind the scenes perspective, let me tell you... they are as accurate as my eyewitness account of the signing of the Declaration of Independence!

It was more on the VARYING quality. Some are AMAZING. Other's (esp the UFO ones) are not as good. As there are more shows in the catalogue for daily programing, the bad ones are being weeded out or replaced.
Heck, I am WATCHING IT RIGHT NOW.
W/o History (and other "Smart TV" channels) and Speed, the TV is just a monitor for the DVD!
How can I get on the list to work with the History Channel? I'd LOVE that one.
