    Bond has been replaced by another actor.
    Q has been replaced by another actor.
    M has been replaced by another actor.


    Doctor Who has been replaced how many times?

    Dracula has been played by Bela Lugosi, John Carradine, Jack Palance, Christopher Lee and Gary Oldman...just to name a few.

    There has even been two Willie Wonkas.

    But in Doctor Who they explained the new actor by working it into the storyline and having the character regenerate into a new body.

    Bond, like many fictional heroes, is still going strong in the prime of his life for almost 50 years now.

    Never Say Never Again, although outside the main Bond continuity, was an interesting way to insert a little realism to the story - even superspies get older.

    For me there is only one Bond.

    They actually alluded to the change in M in Goldeneye so to me that's not a replacement actor but a new character. One of the problems I could foresee with Casino Royale.

    Q and M are titles (head of Q Branch).

    In the new one, Bond tells M that he always thought it was just a randomly assigned consonant, but it's actually her initial. Then she tells him he better not tell anyone what her name is. Or something along those lines.

    Q-> Quatermaster
    M-> based on term for head of Brit intelligence during WW2. He was known by a letter, which actually was his initial. I forgot what it was, or his name. However, I'm sure someone here will know it and relate it.


    My own idea->is supposed to be one Bond, though the character has changed and developed several times over during the decades. Thus, I could understand the ideas of several Bonds. The movie references are intended for the audience, as a tongue-in-cheek reference to a change in the "continuity."

    Always a Bond fan,

    Never Say Never Again was just Thunderball with an older Connery and a different supporting cast.
