Haha it looks like the unused John Stamp title sequence for the first Mrs Peel season ofvtye Avengers.

Ha!

I see those are the books of my two favourite Bond films... one of which debuts the best Bond on film.

All four of them debut a Bond :) Live and Let Die?

Yup.

Not an unfair assessment. ^_^ That jazz funeral sequence is so memorable, segueing from such sombre, yet sizzling tradition, to matters of urgency.

I still wish Mr McCartney hadn't left in the line "in which we live in", though. That's got to be worth at least a wedgie. =:)

One day I'm going to make a post about the songs whose grammar makes me wince every time. I'm pretty sure there's another Bond theme on the list, too, but I can't recall which at the moment!

"Double-oh-seven" always sounds wrong to me. I mean, aren't those zeros? So it should be "double-aught-seven", shouldn't it?

O-O-Seven doesn't sound as cool. XD

Ha, I never thought of that!

I never read any of the books, so I didn't know if they spoke out the "007" as "double-oh" or "double-aught", but I always thought they said "double-oh" in the films purposefully in order to "avoid confusing the Yanks". ;) I'd be curious to've heard Fleming himself say "007"; that would be the official pronunciation IMO. But maybe it was "double-oh" all along. After all, 1960 was right around the time "aught" and "naught" became regarded as archaic and unfashionable, both here and in the UK. But I would think that any intelligence service worth its stripes would think it important to always be able to distinguish between the numeral "zero" and the letter "o" in speech.

Now I want to do some re-reading to see if the pronunciation is ever explicitly referenced :)

One of his Daniel Craig movies contains a typo, especially when you see the beginning. It should've been called Spyfall. XD

Now you've got me wondering what the porn version was called.

Sean Connery would know. ;)
