I never joke about my work 007

While James Bond has enjoyed the bond girls, dealt with the bond villains and received help from his allies, Bond has to follow orders from his boss at mi6, and various other officials.

The staple element of the James Bond world, many legendary actors and actresses, past and present, have taken on this role. From the classic Bernard Lee to the modern Judi Dench, through Walter Gotell’s General Gogol to the unforgettable quartermaster Desmond Llewelyn, they provide the grounding for James Bond's missions.

Throughout the years Bond has experienced changing relationships with his colleagues, with different people adding their own characteristics and personalities to the role they play. While it is certain that Bond will always receive his mission from M, enjoy a flirt with Miss Moneypenny and receive his gadgets from Q, who knows what the future holds for the world's famous secret agent – James Bond. §
