Best Bond

WHO was the sexiest Bond?

At the risk of mugs, pens, staplers and other desk equipment to hand being hurled at my head, I really can't subscribe to the Daniel Craig obession currently raging unchecked in our office.

I don't like soppy, I bruise too, Bond. I like the Bond who makes corny quips as he kills - "I think he got the point" (Thunderball, spear gun); "Shocking, positively shocking (Goldfinger, lamp in a bath tub) and employs the treat em mean technique with improbably named beauties.

DC, with his pale eyes and pouty mouth, leaves me cold. Just like gold. I liked Sean Connery, but the stories about him interfere with how much I like him now, even on-screen. Roger Moore was funny, but a little too posh to be sexy.

No, Pierce Brosnan, with his excellent training in Remington Steele, was the best Bond and he had the role down pat with Die Another Day.

Saying that though, if DC wants to prove me wrong, he can reach me c/o the Daily Post. My diary next week is pretty clear, just make sure you wear the tux. And bring the Aston Martin.
